PPS: can we decolonise research methods? Particularly in SoTL when we try to capture student (and colleague) voices?! A4 #LTHEchat
In research methods I like to focus on how "traditional" methods are silencing voices who are not within an expected experience range (pet peeve Likert scales). Again challenge knowledge systems and what counts and knowing. A4 #LTHEchat 2/2
