Phenomenography conference

On Thursday Bill Johnston and Stuart Boon will be presenting a talk that I have co-authored with them, at the Phenomenography Special Interest Group workshop in Hong Kong. This event happens every couple of years , and we were all able to go the last one in Goteborg in 2004 (Stuart and Bill are pictured outside Goteborg University on the right), but unfortunately I couldn't get to Hong Kong this time ;-( Our talk is called Further reflections on the phenomenographic team research process, so we are looking at how we worked as a team, particularly in the analysis phase (of our project on UK academics' conceptions of teaching information literacy). Great names in phenomenography are there (e.g. Ference Marton), and there are also participants who may be familiar from this blog and elsewhere e.g. Christine Bruce, Mandy Lupton and Sylvia Edwards. In case you don't know, phenomenography is a research approach which it is valuable to use if you are trying to identify variation in people's way of experiencing or conceiving of a phenomenon.
