“I Could Study Anywhere, As Long As I Could Sit I’Ll Study:” Student Spaces And Pathways At The City University Of New York, Maura A. Smale, Mariana Regalado

Publications and Research

Undergraduate students at the City University of New York navigate multiply occupied places as they attend college on the urban campuses of this commuter institution. CUNY students often negotiate competing diversions from their scholarly experiences, including family obligations and job responsibilities, that constrain them both temporally and financially. Additionally, space considerations at home, school, and the commute influence and shape student activities and opportunities. In this paper we examine how college students interact with school spaces, from where they store their books to where they study and write their papers, and to what degree they succeed at constituting these areas …

Cultures In The Making: An Examination Of The Ethical And Methodological Implications Of Collaborative Research, Chrstina Siry, Carolyne Ali-Khan, Mark Zuss May 2011

Cultures In The Making: An Examination Of The Ethical And Methodological Implications Of Collaborative Research, Chrstina Siry, Carolyne Ali-Khan, Mark Zuss

Publications and Research

This paper explores ethical and methodological implications of collaborative research, and we discuss our examination of ways to work towards participatory, ethical relationships in research. Our core concerns pertain to the experiential, lived and qualitative relations within emergent research communities. Questions that have guided us include: What does "we" mean in research practice? How do we become a community of researchers? What forms of relations are shaped in the continuous process of inquiry? Whose interests are served? How can a community of researchers and their participants, formed and sustained by reciprocal, ethical relations, of trust, shared knowledges, curiosity and friendship, …

Facebook Avatars, Or Doppelgangers, For The Academician: Ementoring Turned Educational Campaign, Jennifer Tang, Sarah Brennan Apr 2011

Facebook Avatars, Or Doppelgangers, For The Academician: Ementoring Turned Educational Campaign, Jennifer Tang, Sarah Brennan

Touchstone

Facebook, an innovative digital communication tool, boasts more than 500 million active users worldwide. Faculty nationwide can testify to the popularity of this social networking site. Ask a group of students in any classroom if they have used Facebook the night before, and teachers observe that most, if not all, hands would go up (Bugeja). Contrast this with the response of students if a professor inquired, “Who completed the reading or assignment I gave last night?” The results would most likely be different, regardless of the level of excellence the faculty member brings to the classroom.
