I am back at the University of Hamburg for a month – this time as a visiting scholar under the German Academic Agency’s (DAAD) Short-term Research Stay<\/a> program. I will be continuing my research into how the University of Hamburg is preparing pre-service teachers for working with refugee children. This research has expanded to a comparative study of the US and Canada with two international colleagues: Drorit Lengyel<\/a> and Barri Tinkler<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I have three main goals while I am here:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. continue the document analysis I started two years ago and getting it ready for publication<\/li>\n
  2. (tied with that) pilot a document analysis workshop with graduate students here and if successful, offer at home and at a US institution<\/li>\n
  3. interview university instructors regarding their work with pre-service teachers in this area.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I am still waiting for clearance to do #3, but the ball is rolling for that.<\/p>\n

    I have a few personal goals to expand my German repertoire:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. take in some movies at the Abaton Kino<\/a> which offers lesser known titles in German (as opposed to Hollywood blockbusters)<\/li>\n
    2. make use of the university fitness studio where I just bought a guest membership for the month<\/li>\n
    3. try out a few new restaurants to add to my list of favourites (and pictures on Instagram)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      So far, other than jetlag, I have also had to deal:<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. with temporarily losing the ability to do bank transfers with my German account (long story – even longer to settle)<\/li>\n
      2. accidentally walking into the mens’ change room (can’t I read German?)<\/li>\n
      3. converting my personal training program from mph to km\/h (didn’t I learn to convert in school?)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
