In this episode OU WELS Postgraduate Researchers Bukola Oyinloye and Mel Green discuss Mel’s EdD project exploring the effects of teacher identity on online pedagogical practice within Higher Education. Mel talks about the decision to take the EdD route to perform her ‘action research’ and how the pandemic has influenced her project. They discuss how Mel presents herself as a black woman in her online tutorials, and how she juggles her many hats, as mother, teacher and student. Her tips for other busy researchers are to stay on top of your organisation, be honest with yourself and others, and treat yourself with compassion.
