What amazing thoughts shared from the @OpenUniversity graduation yesterday. Celebrating diversity and encouraging everyone to be just who they fully are. That’s the superpower!! Takes me back to my graduation with my son 18 months ago. ❤️@learnventurer @JitkaVseteckova &💪to all!

I think my X days are becoming numbered, but looking forward to my presentation slot and to participating in the International Grounded Theory conference, to network and debate on the future of GT and to support each other in our theory building. @OU_WELS @OU_CSGD @IGTA_Grounded

[International Association of Grounded Theorists @IGTA_Grounded]

Hope you are as excited by the #GroundedTheoryFutures as our organizing team. So many different activities are on the programme 24/7 Sept. 19 & 20.

[Dr Lesley Boyd @lesleyboyd]

So the Heavens had opened at the @GrdtheoryScot symposium & we were all getting soaked !! So many fellow GT travellers came up to me to share their ideas and questions, and spark off ideas. Brilliant conversations. All best for your unfolding work and journeys. Cheers everyone 🥂

[Dr Lesley Boyd @lesleyboyd]

And PS yes I do feel it would be great to do again next year!! Great to keep up momentum and in person dialogue, and keep encouraging and supporting each other in our life and research journeys 🥰👏👍

[Dr Lesley Boyd @lesleyboyd]

Such a rewarding day at the first @GrdtheoryScot symposium. I’m honoured to learn about so many empassioned and vital research projects conducted internationally, that aim to explore and improve experiences and outcomes in health care, education & social work contexts. Bravo all!

[Scottish Grounded Theory Network @GrdtheoryScot]

that’s a wrap everyone from the inaugural Scottish Grounded Theory Symposium.Many thanks to @suziemdick for organising, along with @LissetteAvilesR and Suzanne Kean.Thanks too to all presenters and attendees for interesting presentations/ discussions. Shall we do again next year?

Had a lovely time at the @OU_WELS @WELSPGResearch conference on Saturday. The theme was 'Alice in Wonderland' and I particularly enjoy the creative & affirming approach. Met several more new wonderful fellow travellers on their research trajectories at different stages of life 🙂

[Dr Lesley Boyd @lesleyboyd]

@SarahAlcock19 @louby16mecom1 I also did one doc. Easier as you pull it all together in later stages and yes for the references.

[Dr Lesley Boyd @lesleyboyd]

@SarahAlcock19 Yes it’s an extremely nice milestone Sarah and well done !! So rewarding to watch that click over thing !! You have officially deserved a breather 👍👍😀🥂🥂. Trust your trip to Japan went off very well and sorry I didn’t keep up with it but did see a few pics. I bet it was fab.

[Dr Lesley Boyd @lesleyboyd]

Looking forward to doing my WiP work-in-progress session with the lovely @OU_CSGD today at noon to share and discuss my interdisciplinary action based and theory building approach. Collaborative and equitable technology-enabled exploration of complex fragmented problems @OU_WELS

[Centre for the Study of Global Development @OU_CSGD]

We’re delighted to share our new video showcasing our interdisciplinary approach to global development research. #GlobalResearch #SustainableDevelopment

[Dr Lesley Boyd @lesleyboyd]

This is our amazing Strelitzia in our conservatory at the moment. She’s just doing her thing and kicking out all her petals. Strelitzias are indigenous to South Africa and we bought her at the Eden Project about 10 years ago after we came from SA, to live back in the UK. 🧡🇿🇦🇬🇧

[Dr Lesley Boyd @lesleyboyd]

So thrilled to be part of the #CSGDConnectDay on Thurs, and with my choc lolly for an energetic and enthusiastic 3 min project spotlight !! Thank you @OU_CSGD 💝. Video below about their inclusive, exploratory & interdisciplinary approach to development research. Lots to share 👏

You would need about 30 minutes and a cup of tea 👍

[Dr Lesley Boyd @lesleyboyd]

I was so pleased to talk at the very first @GOGN_OER Experts & Friends research special: here's the recording for ideas on openly building a theory for a tech-enabled collaborative, inclusive and unfolding problem solving process for tricky situations! @OU_WELS @OU_CSGD @IETatOU

[GO-GN @GOGN_OER]

Miss last month's awesome #GO_GN experts and friends research special with @jatenas & @lesleyboyd?

And, at this moment, @kevinhollinrake uses these numbers to justify with the public that he’s working hard and good progress is being made. The public can exhibit judgment and know that numbers do not tell the human story. They understand the human stories and the ethics at play.

[Jo Hamilton @JoHamil73963257]

@kevinhollinrake You clearly haven't worked hard enough then! There is nothing fair or equitable about the derisory offers being made in the GLO scheme. The ones accepted are small claims or desperate people we both know that!! Stop wasting taxpayers cash trying not to pay them!

[Dr Lesley Boyd @lesleyboyd]

@jatenas @leohavemann @GOGN_OER Thank you Javiera and you too !! It was really fascinating listening to your work today . 👏🙂
