Lived Experiences
These portfolio entries reflect my choice to slow down and notice the everyday lived experiences around me; the ordinary experiences that I take for granted and manifest routinely without a thought. Slowing down and experiencing the lived experiences with hermeneutic phenomenological research disposition re-introduces the contextual and situated lifeworld I live with.
The engagement with hermeneutic textual expressions such as poetry, rich descriptions, photography, and videography attune my perception and generate meaning from the art of being sensitive within everyday lived experiences. As a woman situated on colonialized land in British Columbia, Canada, the portfolio unfolding here is my emerging understanding about research and the place the teacher-researcher crafts with children, more-than-humans, and others within living inquiries.
