Ep 98: Dr. Bonnie Stewart on Opening the Dissertation - a podcast by Dr. Katie Linder, Director of the Oregon State University Ecampus Research Unit

On this episode, Katie is joined by Bonnie Stewart, an educator and social media researcher fascinated by who we are when we're online. Program Lead | Designer for Experiential Education at the University of Prince Edward Island, and Founder | Director of the media literacy initiative Antigonish 2.0, Bonnie is interested in the intersections of knowledge, technology, and identity. As Director of Edactive Technologies, Inc., Bonnie keynotes and consults about digital strategy, digital pedagogy, and community capacity-building around the world.

Based in participatory leadership models, her research, workshops, and teaching explore the changing realities of contemporary higher education.
