Scholarship Forum Meet & Greet

[Admin]

Take a moment to say Hi to others here in the Scholarship Forum. You can share your name, institutional affiliations, how long you've been in advising, and what interests you in the scholarship of and related to our field.

Hello, all! My name is Ryan Scheckel and I am at Texas Tech University. I've been in advising since 2002, working in different roles with different student populations along the way. I am particularly interested in the conversations that happen within scholarship, but also those that happen as a result of it, whether they are in our offices, at conferences, or wherever!

Aloha friends. I'm CJ Venable. I coordinate advisor training and professional development at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln which operates on lands belonging to the Pawnee, Ponca, Oto-Missouria, Omaha, Dakota, Lakota, Arapaho, Cheyenne, Kaw, Winnebago, Ho-Chunk, Iowa, and Sac and Fox Peoples. I've been doing this work here since 2020 but began in advising as a graduate assistant in 2013. Almost from the beginning I've seen myself as a scholar-practitioner and am quite interested in what constitutes 'knowledge' in advising and, as Ryan said, the 'conversations that happen within scholarship'--what is the conversation now, what could or should it be, and what are we leaving out of the conversation?

Kurt Xyst, University of Washington. Also been in academic advising since 2002, all of that time in university/general advising at UW. My theoretical and research interests run toward metaphysics of education & advising with particular focus in pragmatism and hermeneutics.
