Academic Mumbo Jumbo

            It can be very tempting [for the beginning researcher] to draw a neat line and ‘position’ oneself on one side of the debate, with all the implications that the positioning may have for the process and purposes of research and for the way the researcher’s identity is defined. But this neat positioning, especially when it happens very early in the process of becoming an educational researcher, carries the risk of foreclosing creative opportunities for research and of freezing identities into an artificial landscape of paradigmatic and disciplinary crevasses. In many cases, coherence and depth of thought, coupled with a degree of irreverence, may enable more fulfilling research experiences and more interesting contributions to research conversations than strict and deferential paradigmatic loyalty. (Punch and Oancea, 2014)

Just a thought...
