Language matters in knowledge brokering, especially for issues of power, trust & collaboration.
Join us + Simon Sjölund, Mälardalen Univ in Sweden for discussion of how language impacts research-practice partnerships + ways to build stronger, more equitable relationships.

Had an amazing time presenting at a structured poster session on global research-practice partnerships 🌎⭐️.

Shared our work on quality teaching rounds in Sweden funded by Mälardalens kompetenscentrum för lärande. Excited for future collaborations and the impact we'll make together! 💥

Yesterday I had the privilege to listen to and hang out with Jenny Gore and Andrew Miller at #AERA2025. It's always fascinating to hear about the incredible and important work they have managed to do with Quality Teaching Rounds (QTR) in Australia.

Anyone at #AERA2025, drop in to our structured poster session with several different posters of RPPs across the world. 🌎

Our session will be focused on exploring research use and generation in RPPs.

Great way to start your friday morning. Bring a cup of coffee and engage! ❤️

Thanks to everyone involved!

Amazing event yesterday, gathering roughly 60 researchers and school professionals in a third space negotiating current educational problems. ❤️‍🔥

Looking forward to seeing what this might lead to in terms of collaboration to adress them. 💯⭐️

It was a true pleasure to have Professor Denis Pasco as a guest in Sweden. The insights shared during the visit were valuable to everyone. We are grateful for the time and expertise offered so generously. This will be the first of many future collaborations ❤️.

What can AI do for our research communication? 🤔💻

Now you can make podcasts of research articles 🎙️. Linked below is one of my articlea on research-practice partnerships. 🔥

Thanks to my brilliant colleague @sertolcay.bsky.social for sharing his idea and concept with me.

The day before my defence, my morning coffee giving me good vibes 🥰

Yesterday I nailed my thesis to a wall at my University. A tradition stemming from Martin Luther and his 95 thesis' about 500 years ago. 🔨

This symbolizes that my thesis now goes public, three weeks prior to my defence 📢.

Wish me luck 🤞💯

On the 9th of April 13.15 CET, I am defending my thesis 🔥. It will be a hybrid event, and if anyone is interested in attending, comment or send me a message and I will send a zoom-link. ❤️💯

Just created a "to do" list and added a few items I have already completed... 😅

Just to remind myself that I actually do finish things.💯⭐😎

Is that a weird thing to do? 😅

Sent my thesis up for judgement. Hopefully it will be judged to be ready for the Viva!

Both scary and relaxing 😅.
