I feel very warm for the many helpful suggestions I received from the last two blogs, and I gradually feel more relaxed to write a blog to record my thoughts and share with them even if I think some of them are very indecisive and unclear. But it is so moving to find many […]

Workshopping a project This morning’s DIS session got me buzzing…such great ideas and such rich conversation. I felt like we were about to change the world with what we had brewing. The diversity of thought within our group was key to developing each of our projects. That we perceive situations in different ways made all […]

I’ve been caught up in a lot of my assignments lately. I am really struggling with the Python coding assignments. It has been hard for me to know what’s going on past the assessments themselves. This has made my decision to dial back the quantitative data portion of my project much easier and seem much […]

  Pros and Cons List Last week (more like three days ago), I looked into the literature there currently was surrounding my topic.  While this was not a comprehensive literature review/search, I wanted to get a good idea of what information I was working with.  As I am currently deciding between two topics at the […]

This past week I’ve spent ample time contemplating where I would like to go with my topic, and I have narrowed my scope down to looking at homelessness among the senior women who are widows. I’m sure there is a much more elegant way to describe my topic, but at this stage I am just […]

As I said last week, my first step was to analyze the current literature in each of my possible chosen topics so that I can see what information I have to work with and where there is a gap in the literature.  I have also developed what I believe to be two of my questions […]

Hi everyone, Hope you have a had a good week so far. I’m sending you greetings from an adorable wee barn in the Lake District (photo below)! A very short break away from work (uni is portable luckily) which is needed and will definitely help refreshen my spirits for the upcoming intensive courses! However, pretty […]
