I think I want to write a year-end summary about my research interests, directions, and how the work to write a book about the psychology of software teams is impacting those directions! Some emerging things I've been thinking a lot about:
- social identities and the formation of skill-based identities for knowledge workers, looking *beyond* community of practice to integrate identity + CoP theories
- A much deeper dive into problem-solving and a return to social cognition for me!
- I've always had this bent, but committing much more strongly to a curiosity about "states" over "traits." How do we reason in a state of fear? State of ambiguity? State of uncertainty? Ideas about how we coordinate differently, and what becomes foregrounded
- I've come back to enjoying a lot more bio-focused work this year, probably because of doing Change, Technically ! So much scicomm is needed here to help folks understand the new sciences of these types of measures
@grimalkina your mention of bio-focused reminds me that my current podcast crossover wish / fantasy is Change, Technically + Everything Hertz. James Heathers works in biosignals, just sayin' 🙏😇
@spoltier I know this one!! We currently have a focus on non-male guests for the pod right now in service of amplifying those voices and sharing our platform in that way ❤️ but thank you v much for the suggestion (and kind support)!
