Ok I am behind on my blogging but didn’t feel I could really write anything as I had scrapped my initial ideas for my project and wanted to start something new. After a great meeting with JB to discuss some ideas I feel I am back on track. That’s why this feels like a bloggity […]

These 3 weeks of studying, gave me more ideas for my final work. For example, in Inclusive Society, I can consider more about local legal policies, tax policies, etc. The theme of our project is Data activism. The aim is to discuss the significance of data collection for communities and to reduce the possibility of […]

A Much Needed Break American culture does not value balance and breaks once you’re in the workforce. It’s go, go, go and show up unless you’re bleeding from the eyes. Two weeks off a year is standard (3 max) if you get paid time off at all. Over break, I was reminded of why this […]

This week we had our inclusive society intensive. It was so cool to see how different start-ups are approaching societal issues. It is easy to get carried away with these more significant wicked problems in our society, and breaking down these problems into inclusion matters is a great way to tackle them. There is so […]

This is my first blog back to Uni in SEM2   It has been 3 weeks since coming back to the second semester after a busy winter break. Everything is set up now, the courses and readings, and I have settled myself into the study. Here just to keep track of my first three weeks […]
