My research accomplishments are due in large part to the encouragement and guidance of my advisor, Mark Davis. I appreciate his steadfast confidence in my abilities and his patience through the less productive periods. I also am deeply grateful for the guidance of Paul Webster, whose tutorials in electron microscopy have been central to my accomplishments and whose consistent and generous support has been invaluable to me. I appreciate the time and attention of my committee members: David Tirrell, Scott Fraser, and Anand Asthagiri. Given their busy schedules, it has been kind of them to play a role in my course of study. It has been a pleasure to work with my colleagues in the Davis Laboratory and elsewhere at Caltech. Suzie Hwang Pun and Nathalie Bellocq kindly introduced me to conducting research in non-viral gene delivery. I have enjoyed working with Raj Kulkarni, Ryan Zeidan, and Jianjun Cheng, all of whom have been generous while making substantial and valuable contributions to...
thank you so much for all of your insight and assistance in this process. A big thank you as well to Joyce Zhou for your help with recruitment, rating, and manuscript editing, and to Jeremy Dietmeier for your invaluable manuscript feedback. To my Mom Ann (the first Dr. Valentine) and my Grandmother Lorrine, you two are the inspiration for another career in education. Here's to another 30 years! Mom, I would have never made it anywhere close to finishing my own Oreck Challenge without everything you do so well, so huge thanks and love to you. Last, but certainly not least, to my incredible wife, Rebecca: your patience, support, and pride in me throughout this long journey has meant the world to me. You have always been there for me, and you make all of this worth it. I love you more than anything.

2018 Senior Researcher Award Acceptance Address: Open-Mindedness for ALL Available Research Data
Journal of Research in Music Education
Beethoven is credited with saying "Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy." With that, we could stop right now, but that would make this talk a bit too short. It is important to begin by recognizing some important people. I appreciate the National Executive Board of NAfME, the Music Education Research Council and its Executive Committee, as well as all the members of the Society for Research in Music Education for supporting my nomination. I especially want to thank my skilled colleague and friend Deborah Confredo. She wrote a remarkable nomination letter for this award. It is an honor for me to be named among this award's previous recipients. As an undergraduate in the early 1970s, I assisted a doctoral student, Michael Wagner. My job was as a "technology" aide to him. At that time, our job was mostly to make sure that the stereos were hooked up and the power cords were plugged in. Yes, this was the time of phonograph players, a little machine that was about this size that turned around and around, on which you placed a vinyl disk, and a needle sat on it to transfer the waveforms through an amplifier to speakers. We also made sure that the equipment was turned on, a problem many times. Mike helped me to begin thinking about music education and how it does or does not function. Along with this work, I also helped some other doctoral students with technology in their research. In my master's work, Clifford Madsen directed the thesis. Later, after teaching a bit, I was fortunate to work with Cornelia Yarbrough on my doctorate and beyond; strangely, I assisted her with some technology when she worked on her dissertation. Cornelia taught me a great deal about education, research, and life in general. She is responsible for so many good things that have happened to me. What would we do

Hannes and Elsa Nigrini, my parents, tutors and fellow sojourners-thank you for love and hope-loving me so that I learned how to see the footprints of God and fellow human beings and discover how to valuate the physical-organic cosmos. Thank you for the effort that has been put into making this a reality. To my brother, Morné Nigrini and his wife Jeanette, thank you for many prayers and words of encouragement. All my Alma Maters, lecturers and friends and students-it was and remains a privilege to be associated with you. Thank you for all the prayers and words of encouragement, and for agreeing to disagree. Prof WJ Hattingh who believes in me-thank you. May our respective dreams come true. My mentor, Professor E van Niekerk-Ras, thank you for the many pointers, clues and cues of grace and patience you shared with me in formulating my theory of faith even when we experienced a so-called cul-de-sac. Surely it will not be in vain. Susan for supported trust and continuous encouragement. Anne Lombard for constant motivation and prayers. This phase or episode in my life is dedicated to all my fellows in life, but especially to me. I am worth it-and what a journey it was. I have discovered from my grandmother, Susan Marais that sometimes you have to dance in red. God Triune, you who have many names-for your faith, encouragement and organic inspiration, thank you for life and my journeys. All glory belongs to you, and the works of your hands do proclaim it. iii DECLARATION I declare that Kenosis and Identity: Pneumatological Pointers is my own work and that all sources that I have used or quoted have been indicated and acknowledged by means of complete references.
