1) Who are you?

I am Frances Bell and I work with @femedtech #femedtech.

I am a woman, a friend, a wife, a mother, a grandmother, a sister, an aunt, a cousin, a maker, a gardener, a blogger and an open and itinerant scholar.

I retired from working in a Higher Education institution in January 2013. I taught, did research and managed Masters programmes. I love having more time, though never enough, for learning and pursuing my interests in reading, gardening, textile crafts and other things. I still write and conduct research in areas that interest me.

2) What is your vibe? Share it in a meme or quote…

“Theory without practice is empty/sterile: practice without theory is blind” attributed variously to Kant, Marx and others.

3) What gives you hope these days?

My grandson who doesn’t know what he is living through.

4) Who are you learning from lately?

Rosi Braidotti and all of FemEdTech

5) In your opinion, what should we all be caring about? Why?

Each other, especially those who escape our notice

homeless people forced to sleep in a parking lot after the closure of a shelter

 

6) What do you hope to take away from OER20?

Insights and friendliness.
