Hello! I appreciate your support of my @strath-ioe.bsky.social #PhD #research. I still need more participants. I would be grateful for your help in sharing this with any #activist #teachers in #Scotland whom you know (or if you are one yourself). Thank you. forms.office.com/e/cjNE3UkNyY #activism

Celebrating my start of data gathering with a celebratory pint at my favourite skybar here in Glasgow. Thank you, universe! I still couldn't believe we are here now. Laban lang at tiwala lang talaga. My heart is really full.

Thank you very much for your vouch of support and solidarity Professor @khadijamohammed.bsky.social. Grateful and humbled.

Chased the sunrise at the @unistrathclyde.bsky.social this morning. Thank you for the 24-hr library access during this examination period. I'm mentally and physically drained. But I always say, 'laban' ('fight') and never give up! I'm going home now for a much needed beauty sleep. #Strathlife

A Chicago Pope implies the existence of an MLA Pope and APA Pope

Papal Conclave Watch at @unistrathclyde.bsky.social : Habemus Papam! My fellow #StrathPGR recorded my initial reaction. Hoping that the next Pope continues to humbly serve the poor, marginalised and oppressed sectors including the #LGBTQIA community - and should champion #education!

I am grateful to be in Rome to send off #PopeFrancis. His influence in making #education accessible and inclusive will shine on. Grazie mille to my supervisors @unistrathclyde.bsky.social #StrathEDU & colleagues from @uofglasgow.bsky.social for allowing me to do this pilgrimage.Arrivederci! #PhDlife

Continue to walk with me in faith, Pope Francis. “Education is not possible without betting on freedom, opening the way to social friendship and the culture of encounter" (Pope Francis) (Photo: x.com/breeadail/st...) #PopeFrancis #PapaFrancesco #PapaFrancisco #Vatican

These are some well-preserved student notebooks from the French countryside that date from the 1870s to 1900s. The exercises and lessons were handwritten by the teachers themselves. Imagine if a teacher has 10 students and all lived near the ecole (school). Salute and #respect to teachers' work!

My "Not-so-perfect" Methodology chapter ✔️ and sent. Grateful to have reached this moment. But for now, I'll walk outside and relish this feeling of grief for my #Mama. I am glad it is still there to remind me how much she is loved and missed. #ShuttingOff #Reflection #Pause

Sending my solidarity, love and prayers to the people of #Myanmar and #Thailand - two countries which are very close to me and my professional journey. Hoping for your recovery from the recent earthquake. Here are some pictures @ the Shwe Dagon Pagoda in Yangon in 2012. I hope to visit again.

I was pleasantly surprised that 'Miss Universe' and 'Miss World' were mentioned in a discussion on judging research quality. Wondering if the author could be a pageant fan just as I am. Patton, M. Q. (2015). Qualitative Research & Evaluation Methods: Integrating Theory and Practice p. 981.

Energised to have read this new article in the #ScottishEducationalReview which provides critically reflexive views on #professionallearning and #teacheractivism. Grateful to the authors who are mostly from @morayhouse.bsky.social for this piece. brill.com/view/journal...

Welcome, #CenTCS! @centcs.bsky.social

NEW: The @eisunion.bsky.social has confirmed that strike action will take place over education cuts in Glasgow - and has set a date www.tes.com/magazine/new... @tesmagazine.bsky.social

These new purchases invited me to revisit a book chapter I wrote in 2003 on Beauty Pageants in the Philippines. Not only is pageantry popular in my country - there are intertwined issues and intersectionalities that are worth discussing. www.researchgate.net/publication/...

Surrendering 2025 with HOPE - in life, relationships, health, and everything PhD. May this be a hope-filled journey, universe! Merci mon Dieu. #Strathlife #PhDlife #journey #StrathEDU #Glasgow #Scotland #research

Thank you, @kristinarobb.bsky.social for this feature and for the insights you shared. So much to reflect and think about in my study. See you around!

Forever grateful for this moment. Thank you, @mariemcquade.bsky.social for this capture and kind feedback.

Decided to clear my mind out and did a WALKSHOP with a couple of friends along the lovely Tay Bridge this early afternoon during the #SERAConf24 here in Dundee. Reflections about life, family, society, activism, and education came from this experience understanding places. Highly recommended!

🌟A huge thanks to the DSMS 2024 keynote speakers: From @unistrathclyde.bsky.social - Professor James Curran, Dr. Christopher McCormick; and from @uofglasgow.bsky.social Dr. Aleksandra Bavdaž. Your keynote speeches were invaluable! #DSMS2024 #PhD #PGRs #Glasgow #StrathLife #PGRlife #StrathPGR

I am missing my lovely team at the Strathclyde Doctoral Researchers Group @strathclydedrg.bsky.social in this #DSMS2024 as I need to be in @dundeeuni.bsky.social for the #SERA50 Conference. Cheering you all from way up north! @unistrathclyde.bsky.social

Presented my on-going PhD study in front of an inspiring crowd at the Scottish Educational Research Association (SERA) 50th Anniversary Conference. Challenged. Empowered. Supported. Always grateful to SERA for this moment. #SERA50 #StrathLife @unistrathclyde.bsky.social
