We are bound to the institution’s physical and ideological interior. Often blinded by its monstrous structure, we exist inside its domain. Imagining a brighter future for ourselves becomes difficult without the fantasy of an escape. In corridors, staff-rooms, after lectures and workshops or during lunch breaks we talk and dream of being freed from the…

Reflection
Though I feel like I’m still deep in it, I thought it might be useful to reflect on my ARP cycle as a way to conclude the blog. The unit has been very challenging, mostly because of timing and other commitments, it’s been difficult to achieve as much as I would have liked. It took…

Interpretive Influence & Protection towards participants
My tutorial with Lindsay Jordan on 6.12.2023 was incredibly helpful and admittedly also a scary: realising she had done very similar research to a much higher standard made me doubt the legitimacy of my work.

A note on my Research Design Plan & Process
As I have mentioned in a previous post, I am using miro to help me gather, map, structure and plan my research. However I am becoming aware that because of the living nature of this mapping, some of my process might get lost in the past. Today especially, after our 2nd workshop, I felt the…

A tale of citation and methods
In this post, I am experimenting with a different method of recording and reflecting on conversations and data gathered during workshop 2. Inspired by feminist approaches to citation, and in an effort to explore a more socially-just research practice, I am interested in playing with different types of writing (in this case, semi-fiction) as alternative…
