My anticipated applied residency project is taking place at the University of Vermont this summer, where I will be attending and observing an experiential education workshop for educators at the John Dewey Institute. The website describes the workshop as:
“The University of Vermont offers a 3-day, on-campus workshop – the John Dewey Kitchen Institute – applies John Dewey’s philosophy into our kitchen lab, as a way to emphasize experiential education, as an important pedagogical approach for teaching any subject. We draw from John Dewey’s philosophy of education and epistemology (theory of knowing) to inspire and guide our work together” (John Dewey, para. 2) Rationale for Committee: My committee provides depth of expertise relevant to my doctoral research inquiry. Dr. O’Neil’s experience in transformative sustainability education, living learning systems, and background in food and food related pedagogic inquiry, makes her an ideal fit as my mentor and chair. Dr. Lange’s expertise in transformative adult education, sustainability education, and long work with doctoral students and candidates makes her another essential member of my advisory team. Lastly, Michael Makuch is a fellow culinary educator and scholar. He also has intimate knowledge to the Sustainable Food Systems program my research helps inform. His anticipated doctoral defense is slated for the winter of 2019.
