The FUTURE of Research Presentation &
Representation in Research ….
This is the research of our FOUNDER Dr. Wendy Muhlhauser-Tingblad ProQUEST published and video posted on YOUTUBE 2021! These are her comments. "I believe a documentary film format will be more common in the future for doctoral scholars in a multimedia era! We hope it will help lead the way for more research to be presented this way! I also hope it will lead the way for more ethnographic research to help all voices and life experiences to be included in higher education research to truly reflect everyone!!"

"Higher Education remains white male dominated which is not an accurate representation of our country or world!"

BELOW is the link to the documentary film. I have included the citation and abstract! It will still resonate today! Somehow it seems important that we share this!

ABSTRACT: Operating from the hypothesis that much of our prejudice and inequality results from a lack of empathy, my dissertation answers the research question: What reflective insights emerge from an autoethnographic study of creative story-telling and play, in online teaching of elementary grade children? This autoethnographic study, with video component, examines my online teaching and experiences that emphasize playfulness, empathy, diversity and inclusion, 11 the context of education and for general youth development. Through the use of documentary style presentation, I offer excerpts of me teaching, an online version of storytelling and play, as learning tools to facilitate the understanding of empathy and shared humanity. I provide a recorded narrative of my reflections that I film, in addition to a prose introduction. The dissertation has three main dimensions: a) Excerpts of recorded online teaching of just me (no children are seen and portions of already existing footage of interviews, b) Narrative of reflections for class planning, personal and academic discoveries, teaching, and other data comprised of journal entries, personal reflections, poetry, c) Intro, citations of research, literature review, and conclusions. I believe my illustrations will make for unique connections between playfulness and the development of empathy.

Keywords: Play, creative play, empathy, education, K-6 education, online teaching.

puppets, story, storytelling, hierarchy, discrimination, prejudice, inequality.

EDUCATING EMPATHY- Podcast GUEST- Kai Carter recalls life growing up in Duluth Minnesota. Her family courageously and heroically paved the way for other families of color to be accepted in that community ultimately. You see, she comes from a Duluth family that represented many firsts in the community of Duluth in the 60’s. They were the first family to build and live in an all-white neighborhood which was met with hatred initially. While living in their home, the word hate and the “n” word were painted together on her family’s sidewalk and the side of the house repeatedly. Even during the building of the home white and black allies stood on watch, during construction, so that the home was not sabotaged which was attempted. They became a most beloved family in the community. Kai’s mom became one of the first Black teachers in the area as well! The neighbor who had been most opposed to the family living there became the closest friend of Kai’s father. Kai’s father advocated for him in his aging.
