utter nonsense and arrogance

a psychological threat^

it's either a great joke, or a grand delusion

look - get real, we can't cover all the bases

calling attention to the high-degree of subjectivism in academia and health research

no, actually it is blatant evidence of bias and a lack of objectivity! Who is Hodges?

shamefully egotistical

our project does not need to consider:
reflection - reflective practice
critical thinking
holistic - integrated care: parity of esteem
person-centredness
the curricula (however 'expressed')

methods - methodology - philosophy

a sign we've found the true 'meta-' tool
(Yes, this is interesting!)

to the Nth degree!

a physical threat^

a fact - when critiqued using Hodges' model

limited apprehension of 'HEALTH'..

sheer ignorance

proof of an incomplete (grey) literature search

proof that 'not invented here' prevails

identification of relations and relationships is catered for, as are ...

safety, situational awareness, scoping, mapping, evaluation, analysis, synthesis, diagrams - graphical approaches, project mangement

potentially supporting inter- multi- transdisciplinarity

a sign that ('fashion') science, evidence have moved on: get over it!


a soul in search of a community of practice?

demonstrating much effort is falling on deaf ears?

time to listen, with all that's going in the world

Hodges, did you say? Sorry not here!

not commissioned/funded by a 'us'. 

what? No Doctorate? Go away: please!

who does that person think they are!

   fao project/research management group/committee?




^No threat is implied, on the contrary frustration ... If Hodges' model may be use, please do get in touch. Thanks to all for your visits and best wishes with your respective projects, studies and careers.
