T1 - What Is a Gunterian Approach to Research? Helen M. Gunter’s Contributions to Critical Education Leadership

AU - Courtney, Steven J.

AU - McGinity, Ruth

N2 - Helen M. Gunter’s research disrupts the field of educational leadership, management and administration (ELMA); by this, we mean that her work supplies distinctive new ways of and/or tools for understanding or theorising the field that challenge existing perspectives, including functionalist ones. However, these disruptions themselves follow an intellectual tradition of critical scholarship, and she has left intellectual resources that others have taken up in their treatments of, and dispositions towards educational leadership. Our aim and distinctive contribution is to think with these aims to define what it means to adopt a Gunterian approach to research. We trace three strands to Gunter’s contributions to educational leadership and policy—which we see as mutually constitutive—and demonstrate how these contributions constitute a tradition of disruption and enable its continuation in a distinctively Gunterian manner. The three strands are Gunter’s theorising and use of theory; her typologising and mapping of the ELMA field; and her illuminating and problematising its features through the use of metaphor. We see all these as contributing towards Gunter’s overarching intellectual project concerning the investigation and problematisation of knowledge production, which, following Blackmore, she achieves through her willingness to investigate diverse areas of focus.

Gunter Set on Making a Difference for Cancer Research

Twelve years ago, Cassie Gunter was fighting for her life. Now she wants to give back to the group that helped her survive.

At age 22, she went to the emergency room with what she thought was bronchitis. She was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) — an uncommon blood cancer for her age — and rushed to Stanford Hospital.

Now, the Graduate Division’s graduate resource coordinator is committed to raising money and awareness on behalf of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) Central California chapter as an All-Star nominee for its “Man & Woman of the Year 2019” national campaign.

LLS was an incredible resource for Gunter after her diagnosis and she is humbled to represent the region during the 10-week fundraising competition that runs through April 26.

“I know what LLS has provided for me and my family through my journey,” she said. “I want to give back.”

During treatment, Gunter was referred to a bone marrow transplant specialist to investigate options.

Her only sibling, her sister Telisa, was tested as a potential donor and she was a perfect match. This news opened the door for Gunter to choose whether to continue with conventional chemotherapy and radiation for the next few years or undergo a bone marrow transplant. 

“It was one of the hardest decisions I have ever made. There wasn’t information about survival and cure rates available in favor of one or the other,” she said. “The day I had to make a choice, a doctor presented me with the abstract of a research study indicating that there is a 25 percent increase in the probability of long-term remission after a bone marrow transplant compared to chemo and radiation,” she said.

Gunter had the bone marrow transplant in January 2007.

In May, she returned home but couldn’t work or continue school at California State University, Stanislaus, where she was a year shy of graduating, because of a weakened immune system.

To keep her mind occupied, she volunteered with LLS as a first-connection volunteer supporting newly diagnosed ALL patients. Even though now she is in remission, Gunter continues to help by sharing her story at events, including Light the Night and Relay for Life, to build awareness of blood cancers.

I attribute my healthy, normal life today to the advances in cancer research that continue to happen each and every day.

In 2016, Gunter was nominated by the LLS Central California chapter to run for the Man-Woman of the Year campaign. With the support of her friends and family, she raised nearly $20,000 and was the runner-up.

This year, LLS of Central California nominated her to represent the chapter as an All-Star alumni candidate, and she’s competing against 56-chapter representatives across the country. She is the first woman to be nominated by the Central California LLS chapter. 

Gunter is motivated to raise $50,000 for LLS to help fund blood cancer research. She started with a letter writing campaign to friends and family members and will hold several small fundraising events along the way. When she surpasses her goal, LLS will name a research grant in honor of her dear friend Gerlinde Olvera, who led the bone marrow transplant support group she attended in Fresno.

“I’ve met people who I’ve lost throughout this journey, Gerlinde was one of them,” Gunter said. “I struggled after treatment. The support group saved my life.”

The Atwater native has witnessed UC Merced’s growth first-hand. She has benefited from several new medical advances during her cancer journey and has felt a strong connection to the research taking place on campus even before she joined in 2014.

“I find their research fascinating,” Gunter said about working with graduate students for the past 4 1/2 years. “You never know whose life it might change.”

Gunter also credits LLS’ support of cancer research — the organization funded 34 of 39 blood cancer therapies that were approved by the Federal Drug Administration in 2018 — for her eagerness to champion the cause.

“I attribute my healthy, normal life today to the advances in cancer research that continue to happen each and every day,” Gunter said. “I know what I am doing today will help future patients.”

Chris Gunter, Ph.D.

Social and Behavioral Research Branch

Office of the Director

B.S. University of Georgia

Ph.D. Emory University

• (301) 496-0844
• [email protected]

Dr. Chris Gunter earned her Ph.D. in human genetics at Emory University in 1998, studying fragile X syndrome and mechanisms of dynamic mutation. She then moved to Case Western Reserve University and completed both postdoctoral work on X chromosome inactivation and an editorial fellowship at the journal Human Molecular Genetics. From 2002 to 2008, Dr. Gunter served as a senior editor for the journal Nature, handling the areas of genetics, genomics, and gene therapy. She then joined the HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology as the director of research affairs, where her responsibilities included creating an academic environment, teaching at the Universities of Alabama Huntsville and Birmingham, and providing scientific content for multiple audiences. After serving as the Program Committee Chair for the American Society of Human Genetics, she worked with students from Stanford University to study how gender influences participation in scientific conferences, and whether public discussion of the imbalance can have an effect.

Most recently, at the Emory University School of Medicine and the Marcus Autism Center, Dr. Gunter coordinated genetics activities and science communication, working with researchers and the public to publish and translate scientific findings. She served as the PI for the Dissemination and Outreach Core of the Center's NIH Autism Center of Excellence grant and is continuing her work on autism genomics in humans and nonhuman primate models.

Currently, she is a frequent lecturer on the editorial process for publishing in scientific journals, the changing landscape of publication, and the importance of outreach and engagement using all media. She helped establish and serves in editorial positions for the journal Molecular Case Studies and the preprint server bioRxiv. She is also on twitter .

Scientific Summary

As part of the Social and Behavioral Research Branch of NHGRI, the Engagement Methods Unit (EMU) headed by Dr. Gunter has three major scientific goals:

• Develop new measures for genetic literacy and understand what factors affect understanding of genetics . Because genetic research drives innovation and involves much of the public, it is equally important to assess its impact on genetic literacy. Our unit updated and administered a set of genetic literacy measures to thousands of people, showing that although this literacy has improved over the past decade, genetics and genomics education are still widely needed. We continue to analyze social and psychological modifiers of genetic literacy, especially in complex genetics and gene x environment contexts.  
• Evaluate impact and effectiveness of dissemination of genomic knowledge, with a focus on behavioral conditions.  Given the wide range of methods for communicating science, how can we know the “impact” of any of our efforts? Differences in methods and metrics between studies pose a significant barrier to understanding both short- and long-term effects of science communication and engagement. Here, the Engagement Methods Unit will use mixed-methods studies and adapt existing frameworks to evaluate the effectiveness of specific projects in human genetics, such as social media campaigns, science festivals, or public lecture series.  
• Collaborate with practitioners to create an evidence base for genomic applications . The Engagement Methods Unit will leverage Dr. Gunter’s existing work with autism as an example of a situation where genomic knowledge needs to be disseminated to families and practitioners, by working with experts to create and evaluate decision tools around genetic testing.

Gunter Set on Making a Difference for Cancer Research

Twelve years ago, Cassie Gunter was fighting for her life. Now she wants to give back to the group that helped her survive.

At age 22, she went to the emergency room with what she thought was bronchitis. She was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) — an uncommon blood cancer for her age — and rushed to Stanford Hospital.

Now, the Graduate Division’s graduate resource coordinator is committed to raising money and awareness on behalf of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) Central California chapter as an All-Star nominee for its “Man & Woman of the Year 2019” national campaign.

LLS was an incredible resource for Gunter after her diagnosis and she is humbled to represent the region during the 10-week fundraising competition that runs through April 26.

“I know what LLS has provided for me and my family through my journey,” she said. “I want to give back.”

During treatment, Gunter was referred to a bone marrow transplant specialist to investigate options.

Her only sibling, her sister Telisa, was tested as a potential donor and she was a perfect match. This news opened the door for Gunter to choose whether to continue with conventional chemotherapy and radiation for the next few years or undergo a bone marrow transplant. 

“It was one of the hardest decisions I have ever made. There wasn’t information about survival and cure rates available in favor of one or the other,” she said. “The day I had to make a choice, a doctor presented me with the abstract of a research study indicating that there is a 25 percent increase in the probability of long-term remission after a bone marrow transplant compared to chemo and radiation,” she said.

Gunter had the bone marrow transplant in January 2007.

In May, she returned home but couldn’t work or continue school at California State University, Stanislaus, where she was a year shy of graduating, because of a weakened immune system.

To keep her mind occupied, she volunteered with LLS as a first-connection volunteer supporting newly diagnosed ALL patients. Even though now she is in remission, Gunter continues to help by sharing her story at events, including Light the Night and Relay for Life, to build awareness of blood cancers.

I attribute my healthy, normal life today to the advances in cancer research that continue to happen each and every day.

In 2016, Gunter was nominated by the LLS Central California chapter to run for the Man-Woman of the Year campaign. With the support of her friends and family, she raised nearly $20,000 and was the runner-up.

This year, LLS of Central California nominated her to represent the chapter as an All-Star alumni candidate, and she’s competing against 56-chapter representatives across the country. She is the first woman to be nominated by the Central California LLS chapter. 

Gunter is motivated to raise $50,000 for LLS to help fund blood cancer research. She started with a letter writing campaign to friends and family members and will hold several small fundraising events along the way. When she surpasses her goal, LLS will name a research grant in honor of her dear friend Gerlinde Olvera, who led the bone marrow transplant support group she attended in Fresno.

“I’ve met people who I’ve lost throughout this journey, Gerlinde was one of them,” Gunter said. “I struggled after treatment. The support group saved my life.”

The Atwater native has witnessed UC Merced’s growth first-hand. She has benefited from several new medical advances during her cancer journey and has felt a strong connection to the research taking place on campus even before she joined in 2014.

“I find their research fascinating,” Gunter said about working with graduate students for the past 4 1/2 years. “You never know whose life it might change.”

Gunter also credits LLS’ support of cancer research — the organization funded 34 of 39 blood cancer therapies that were approved by the Federal Drug Administration in 2018 — for her eagerness to champion the cause.

“I attribute my healthy, normal life today to the advances in cancer research that continue to happen each and every day,” Gunter said. “I know what I am doing today will help future patients.”

This study is titled the progress of speech production in people with autism (case study in a girl named Aliya Salsabila Ramadhani). The study was conducted by Mu'thia Mubasyira, Zainal Rafli and Endry Boeriswati. To correspond the email used is [email protected] and the orchid number is 0000-0002-4084-3382. This study was conducted with the aim to find out how the progress of speech production in people with autism with the object of research on a girl named Aliya Salsabila Ramadhani who is now 9 years old. This study tried to analyze the primary data obtained by explaining the progress of language and Aliya speech production from the age of 3 months old until now. This research uses descriptive qualitative methods that seek to describe the progress of Aliya language and speech production with a short narrative and exposure to data retrieval techniques used through observation of video documentation of activities carried out and through questionnaires and interviews. In addition, this study also uses relevant references as study materials so that holistic and thorough discussion results are obtained. From the characteristics that seem to be known that Aliya is classified as experiencing mild austism. It is also obtained through the analysis of language development and how Aliya interacts with the environment and the surrounding people. Aliya also has abstinence from certain foods to suppress so that her behavior is not too hyper or excessive. Aliya's language progress and speech production made significant increasement  after she received developmental therapy and speech therapy and attended a special needs school. This research is expected to add to the treasures of science, especially those related to psycholinguistics with the study of language development and speech production in people with autism.
