Date: October 28, 2015 – October 28, 2015

Presenter: Dr. Paul Kolenick, Faculty of Education, University of Regina Abstract: The social theory of Jurgen Habermas, and particularly his theory of communicative action, is explored as a framework in which to understand leadership and learning within the social context of communities. In particular, a relational approach to leadership is considered in terms of how leaders may act as “conveners of dialogue” toward thoughtful decision making. In this sense, perspectives on conversation and how to facilitate conversation will also be considered. The Theory and Method Seminar Series provides a forum for educators and students to discuss theory and method, research, and current initiatives in education. While designed to support grad students, it is also a series that can help keep faculty up-to-date on emerging methodologies. Faculty and students are encouraged to attend. Everyone is welcome. Coffee is provided. No registration is required. More information: http://www2.uregina.ca/education/news/?page_id=132

I interviewed my dad on video in his final weeks. When I asked about his work and finding meaning through helping others, he responded, “I don’t think you can be focused on, ‘Oh gee, I want to make a difference.’ It has to be spontaneous. If it’s not…there’s some kind of egotistical thing going on. That’s a red flag. You hope you impact people on the deepest level you are capable of at the time. Sometimes you hit it, sometimes you don’t. You’re trying.
