@emma_dinosaur looking forward to the intro to qual methods class on Tuesday! #phss2023 #qualitativemethodology

Doing a proper #introduction post to goad myself into posting here more...

I'm Lauren. I trained as a #historian, though I'm often somewhere in critical #interdisciplinary #CulturalStudies spaces these days, via a patchwork of casual/sessional roles.

I wrote a PhD and book about the history of #MiltonKeynes and its negative cultural reputation. I work on contested landscapes, and how they reflect temporal orientations. I also give workshops on #ResearchMethods , #DisabilityStudies , writing, #reflexivity, and #history for non-historians. My current project is on #eco-crip #QualitativeMethodology and fatigue epistemologies, which is unfolding at an extremely #CripTime pace.

While I joined here to follow #histodons, I will also sorely miss #CriticalRole and #Dimension20 loreposting (and #TTRPG liveplay livetweets in general). If you have elaborate theories about #ExUCalamity I am all ears.

Having never used so many hashtags in one space before, I think I need to go lie down.

Things that matter to me (in no particular order):

#books (especially #scifi)
#typewriters (I have 1940 #SmithCorona named Stella)
#writing (I love a good #sentence)
#fairytales (especially #Rumplestilskin)
#reproductivejustice,
#HarmReduction, and #ReproductiveHarmReduction
#PublicHealth
#QualitativeMethodology
#ResearchPoetics
My #grandson and being a #nana
#art (especially #OilPainting)
#EnglishBullTerriers (I have 2: Matilda and Eloise)

I wanted to share what I am looking to create and share here. My main purpose for being here is to build a #research community.

In particular, a community where we can share ideas, knowledge, and thoughts around #QualitativeResearch.

If this is an area you enjoy, please do tag me, or mention me, and I'll be sure to follow back.

I'm rather excited about building a qualitative research community on here.
