Abstract

The originality of Máirín Glenn’s thesis is in the explanation of how Máirín’s ontological values of love and care have transformed into her living critical epistemological standards of judgement, as Máirín produced her multimedia evidence-based living theory of a holistic educational practice. Through working with collaborative multimedia projects, Máirín explains how she developed an epistemology of practice that enabled her to account for her educational influence in learning. As Máirín claims in her abstract: "Through my research I have developed my capacity for critical engagement, especially in relation to critiquing many normative practices in dominant forms of education; specifically in terms of their underpinning technical rational ontologies and epistemologies of fragmentation. My original contributions to knowledge are to do with how I show that I can account for how I have transformed my own erstwhile fragmented epistemologies into holistic and inclusional forms of knowing and practice." In the creation of her living-educational-theory Máirín Glenn holds to a fundamental principles of Living Educational Theory research. This is the belief that each individual is capable of developing their potential for learning and knowledge creation. I do hope that you will access Máirín‘s thesis at for the following reasons.
