WECOME LINDA COUPAL!
Research Interests: My PhD research, completed in 2002, explores computer-based technologies and the social construction of gendered identities in five secondary schools. It is an ethnographic study of the power/knowledge relations of schooling, combining a political feminist theoretical framework, with a strong interest in poststructural discourse theory. I am currently developing articles and conference presentations that present the findings from this research.
I am also a research collaborator on a SSHRC funded research project lead by Dr. Carol Harris. In May 2003, I will be conducting field research in five Newfoundland coastal villages; exploring the access, uses, and participation of various community constituencies with information and communications technology (ICT). My part of the investigation includes the public school system and the Community Access Programs (CAP) funded by the Canadian government.
Community Development Interests: I believe in the need to work for an equitable and just society, where diversity of opinion and belief is respected. To achieve this vision, my leadership experiences include volunteer executive and salaried managerial positions in a number of community organizations. These include:
Educational Leadership: I have brought my love of learning to my instruction of graduate and undergraduate courses in Leadership Studies at the University of Victoria. I believe in creating classrooms that are communities of learners, where students are encouraged to work collaboratively, to share their knowledge and experience, and to expand their understandings through the application of theory and research. I was awarded the Andy Farquharson Award for Excellence in Graduate Student Teaching, 2003. I am a practitioner-leader. I worked for six years in the role of school district program consultant, responsible for policy and staff development in the humanities, educational technology, gifted and enrichment programming, and school libraries and learning resources. Prior to this, I taught in elementary and secondary level public schools for 12 years.
