"The Merest Novice": The Snapshot, Gender, and the Museum, 1888-2008

This work explores the cultural role of the snapshot photograph and the evolution of its integration into the art museum. Situated at the interstices of art history, gender studies, and museum studies, the thesis considers how the perception of the snapshot as a "feminine" object developed over time and how this characterization has shaped the exhibition of this ubiquitous creative medium. The first chapter briefly lays out the history of the snapshot and its introduction as a mass medium, including ways early advertising and exhibitions struggled to define "kodakery" for multiple users. The second chapter further considers three snapshot exhibitions of the twentieth century and how each reveals ambivalence about snapshots' value and the agency of snapshooters. The third chapter considers two other exhibits of the past decade and how they recontextualize the snapshot, including both its past as a tangible, vernacular object and its digital future

Making mentoring work: The need for rewiring epistemology

To help produce expert coaches at both participation and performance levels, a number of governing bodies have established coach mentoring systems. In light of the limited literature on coach mentoring, as well as the risks of superficial treatment by coach education systems, this paper therefore critically discusses the role of the mentor in coach development, the nature of the mentor-mentee relationship and, most specifically, how expertise in the mentee may best be developed. If mentors are to be effective in developing expert coaches then we consequently argue that a focus on personal epistemology is required. On this basis, we present a framework that conceptualizes mentee development on this level through a step by step progression, rather than unrealistic and unachievable leap toward expertise. Finally, we consider the resulting implications for practice and research with respect to one-on-one mentoring, communities of practice, and formal coach education
