Tonight,
Wednesday, January 17th the EdD Program will host a
Brown Bag discussion with Dr. Rebecca Michel. The event will take place from 4:20pm – 5:20pm in the College of Education
(LL 101). Although the event is hosted by the Doctoral Program, faculty
agreed that the topic and discussion would be fruitful for many graduate
students.
The
event will also be available via live stream. You can access the live stream
here:
Dr.
Michel will discuss recent qualitative research studies which investigated
issues related to career & educational development, cultural immersion, and
relationship satisfaction. She will highlight different qualitative traditions,
including Phenomenology, Grounded Theory, Consensual Qualitative Research
(CQR), and Participatory Action Research (PAR). Dr. Michel will also recommend
strategies for clarifying research questions, working with research teams,
conducting interviews, establishing trustworthiness, and publishing qualitative
research.
Dr.
Michel is an Assistant Professor within the DePaul College of Education. She earned a PhD in
Counselor Education and Supervision from Old Dominion University. Her research
explores how cultural, relational, educational, and career factors impact
identity, well-being, and life satisfaction. She has worked as a Licensed
Clinical Professional Counselor within higher education, K-12 schools, and
community settings. Dr. Michel recently co-edited the book Creative Career
Counseling Interventions with Diverse Populations (Killam, Degges-White &
Michel, 2016).
We
hope to see you there!
