Week 5/6 Three Questions/WORD Document

Week 5/6 Final Step

Three Questions-

I have been able to find blogs that focus individually on parenting, special needs, and dance blogs. However, it has been tough to find a blog with all three elements tied together. I would love to research and find a blog that has all three niches together. Are there any resources or recommendations?

In order to stay grounded and focused to the program and my teaching artistry,, I have been pretty torn if attempting to do fieldwork etc. in all areas will be too much. Should I only focus on my artistry (dance blogs etc) for this course?

My blog focuses on memoris as a mom/dance teaching artist. I am wanting to create memoirs like the following:

"In considering the similarities between "momoirs"--popular memoirs written by mothers about motherhood experiences--and evocative autoethnographic mother-writing, I argue that differentiating these two forms of intimate observation and personal narrative requires a rethinking of autoethnographic practice. Specifically, I draw on the work of Gilles Deleuze to advocate for a radical specificity in autoethnographic writing. Thinking the autoethnographic narrative in terms of specificities and differences encourages us to think creatively about personal experiences and cultural relations beyond what is shared and communicable"

Does anyone have reccomendations of blogs like this?

Re-cap of my plan/fieldwork etc.

"If you were to go this route, we could talk about how to continue using your blog from last semester as a tool to explore various kinds of mother writing as it pertains to dance therapy. We would need to explore various models for this type of work. But generally speaking your fieldwork would be located within this online sphere - you would be looking to see who is out there blogging about dance therapy and blogging about mothering children on the spectrum. Your blog would then become the site where these different resources and ideas are brought together. It would be a kind of hybrid endeavor - part public/popular and part academic. We would need to set clear expectations about what you post on the blog - so that you could see how to tie your personal narratives to processes of inquiry that are more formal and academic".
