Bricolage
[return to main Katharine Hansen, PhD, page]

Here is a bricolage matrix of various things, primarily in the professional and scholarly realm, that interest me.

Pecha Kucha
Pecha Kucha originated in Japan as a discipline to keep architects' presentations from turning into "death by PowerPoint." The format consists of
  • No more than 20 slides
  • No more than 20 seconds per slide
Therefore, a PowerPoint presentation – no matter how complex – will never last more than six minutes, 40 seconds.

I've designed a Pecha Kucha presentation, but it's incomprehensible without narration, so here's one by Daniel Pink with narration.

Organizational Storytelling
This topic was a major focus of my PhD program, and  I use it in my teaching. Here's the book I wrote as part of my PhD program. It will be available as an e-book in the first half of 2008; e-mail me if you're interested i seeing it sooner.

Instructional Design
I love to design courses and then test them in the classroom and tweak them. Here's the online syllabus for the course I've taught the most, Business Communication.

Intuition
I consider myself intuitive and am fascinated by all kinds of uses of intuition. Here's an article I wrote on using intuition to find one's career passion.

Virtual Teams
I developed an innovative virtual teams project for my students and remain interested in this topic. I hope to conduct more research in this area. Here's a paper I wrote for a conference about my students' virtual-teams project.
