“Monday 23 November[…] People used to think this kind of making or whatever was lowly work, too mundane for even a kernel of curiosity. They wanted everything but the knowing of how things worked. And maybe that’s how the planet got so sick; why yesterday could only ever conjure the deep darkness of apathy for […]

In the past few days, I try compared the deferent directions of my project. It seems too tricky for me to do the research of Internet rip-off in different countries . Maybe I can tern my attention to the price discrimination on Internet. I try to adjust my opinion and arrive at a simple structure. What […]

Unconsciously, I started my postgraduate career a month. This month, I have learned a lot, grown a lot and made a lot of friends. Last week, there was one intensive lesson for two days, postdigital society. Let me learn some effective learning methods to analyze, study, research, and even become an “expert” method. For example, […]

In the past week, I have taken two intensive classes. These four days have been very intense for me. Both teachers and students have worked very hard. But in this process, I have learned many fields that I have never touched before. Let me have a more in-depth thinking on my future research direction. After […]

During those weeks, I was […]

It’s been a while…   But I made it here, after all the readings and other preparations for the intensive days. The program so far is fun. Loads of discussions and presentations in the class, which is good I think to gather and present more ideas among people. And it did help me to think […]

Because I didn’t know enough about the requirements of KIPP, I started writing my blog in the third week, and now I want to catch up on the first two weeks. I am originally from Hangzhou, China and before that I had never left my hometown, apart from travelling. Therefore, the year-long postgraduate life in […]

Remember when I said I wasn’t a good at detail? Yeah. Please excuse the mess… My initial intention for today’s blog was to take my own advice and build on last weeks reflections of ‘a need to specify’ in an attempt to define some real parameters for my project. After I hit publish last week, […]

Last week, I participated in the Exclusion and Inequality two day intensive. This post is a reflection on the journey (both educational, and physically from Orkney to Edinburgh and back) and the key points I’ll take forward from it. The lead up to the intensive was quite a stressful one. In my undergraduate degree we […]
