  mentoring_philosophy: 'My mentoring philosophy is centered around bounded creativity, recognizing that both innovation and structure are crucial for fostering supported growth. Creativity thrives in an environment where curiosity is encouraged, experimentation is valued, and mistakes are seen as learning opportunities. I aim to cultivate spaces where research assistants explore their ideas and express themselves freely, knowing that their unique perspectives are valued. At the same time, structure provides the necessary framework for channeling creativity into tangible outcomes. Clear goals, regular check-ins, and constructive feedback help research assistants progress steadily. In sum, I encourage research assistants to think outside the box while also equipping them with the strategies needed to turn their visions into reality. Through this balance, I aim to inspire confidence, resilience, and a lifelong passion for learning and creativity.'

  research_tasks_for_student_research_assistant_s_: |-
    A research methodology I am calling ‘crafting with’ will be used to explore programs affiliated with The Clearing Folk School in Door County, Wisconsin, that address craft pedagogies over time from 1955-2023. Crafting with uses thinking and making as a means to engage craft pedagogies, or relational teaching practices between learners, educators, researchers, artists, materials, animals, land, plants, sky, and more in “conversation” with each other and The Clearing. Crafting with facilitates becoming when unforeseen invitations lure the thinkers and makers* away from The Clearing and toward unconventional ways of knowing, being, and doing. Crafting with includes three phases. First, data from The Clearing programs (program covers and years, teacher names, and class title and description) will be entered into a spreadsheet application (in progress). Second, data will be analyzed on the topic of historical craft pedagogies. Specifically, interactions between self, research assistants, and relevant program data will be documented through craft to co-craft meanings about relevant pedagogies, illuminating what craft was taught, how it was taught, for how long, and by whom. Finally, findings will be produced on the topic of historical and contemporary craft pedagogies to emphasize how and why craft comes to matter.
    *In this case, the thinkers and makers are the research mentor (Dr. Amber Ward), research assistant supervisor (Hsin Fang), and the proposed undergraduate research assistant (TBD).
