Balancing Intention & Chance
How do you welcome unplanned possibilities and flexibility into your research? How can we balance the intentionality with the reality of chance?
In this Jeffrey Jenson Research Award address, Professor Jennifer Bellamy discusses how researchers can embrace the unexpected along a scholarly journey, while still maintaining a steadfast commitment to the rigor that research demands and the ultimate goals of their work. She shares her perspectives on how preparing for and embracing the unforeseen can lead to richer, and more dynamic work. Bellamy discusses lessons learned from her own research experiences, focusing on developing interventions to better engage fathers in child and family serving systems.
