And for qualitative- here is the background on Phenomenology- seems like everything
eventually leads to Germany/France. Edmund Gustav Albrecht Husserl I know, interesting
person…. Heidegger I think was his student and often cited- but lots of drama at that time
around the National Socialist takeover of academia and people having to choose sides- and
depending on who you talk to- he may or may not be a good guy. Sartre was a French Marxist
and helped provide some of the foundations of critical theory, and depending on who you
talk to- is a good guy or a bad guy- Merleau-Ponty was also a French Marxist- but I don’t
know him as well…MDB

The term phenomenology derives from the
Greek<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Greek> φαινόμενον, phainómenon
("that which appears") and λόγος, lógos ("study"). It entered the
English language around the turn of the 18th century and first appeared in direct
connection to Husserl's philosophy in a 1907 article in The Philosophical
Review<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Philosophical_Review>.[8]&...

Subject: [Project.diverse] navigating the academy
Nice couple of papers from Dr. Alfred on navigating the academy- I am going to see if we
can schedule her as a guest speaker in the Fall. She was in many ways a mentor for us at
Texas A&M (although…as Dr. BP and Boon say- “I am the least diverse person out
there….”). She is in higher ed admin, adult learning, and qualitative research. With all
the caveats and understanding that no group speaks with one voice- most departments now
are pretty “feminized” for a lack of a better word. But, you might go to a place that you
are the first Hispanic, Black, etc. in a role in that particular or specific department or
division or program…especially if you are portable- the demographics of every state and
area is a bit different as well- each has their own unique history and settlement
patterns…ranging from the Church of Latter Day Saints in Utah to European immigrant
pioneers in Oregon, and perhaps have to navigate some culture specific issues.
