Episode 1 of our Research Talk series is now available. In this inaugural episode, Dr. Wendy Kraglund‑Gauthier reflects on more than 25 years of experience in K–12, post‑secondary, and adult learning environments. Drawing on her deep expertise in digital pedagogy, accessibility, literacies, and program evaluation, Wendy discusses how personal curiosity, professional experience, and ethical considerations intersect to shape research with real‑world influence.
Through an engaging and thoughtful conversation, we explore:
- How research ideas emerge from lived experience and professional practice
- The importance of ethical reflection—especially in digital and online learning contexts
- The unexpected insights that arise when researchers follow their curiosity
- How perseverance, reflection, and community shape the scholarly journey
Research Talk aims to celebrate not just what researchers discover, but how they discover it—the process, stories, and lessons that enrich our research culture at Yorkville University.
