To help build my project plan (for those looking for what needs to be included, see p. 12 of the course handbook), I’ve engaged with lots of material in the last couple of weeks to create some structure around what I’d like to cover off within the scope of my project. Here’s it what […]

This week my vision in my left eye has been a bit hazy…dehydration perhaps? Or migraines? What’s stricken me as remarkable is that my hand eye coordination seems to have improved despite this fact, and that my right eye vision (admittedly in my dominant eye anyway) has been sharper. I’ve also had less screen time […]

Happy bank holiday weekend 🙂   I was watching the Golden State Warriors play the other day and it reminded me of how much I enjoyed playing basketball in primary school. I remember my coach used to always say “mark your partner like a big banana” and “where there is a will there’s a way”. […]

A week of reflection, taking things apart and putting things back together this week 🙂 My blog may therefore be a little shorter than normal but with a deep topic of focus i.e., reflecting on proposals…in many ways my thinking has been about what place proposals have in the ‘real’ world and how I may […]

 I caught up with Cheri from accountability lab earlier this week and we discussed the ‘blueprint’ of what has worked for them in the context of empowering the people who are affected by inequality, to indirectly or directly drive solutions on the road to inclusion.

I feel like I have learned a lot and am exploring more concepts, methods and spaces outside of my […]

      One of the things that has been on my mind is what I can anchor my project on- an organisation, a geographical area, a manifestation of inequality etc. Keeping my research specific will be important for feasibility purposes but also to ensure its effectiveness as a starting point for further comparative studies. […]

Since listening to Cheri from Accountability Lab speak on the incredible work that they do, I have been doing a lot of thinking about what it really means to meet people where they are and how this looks/feels in different contexts. For my futures project, I hope to use a method called Appreciate Inquiry to […]

“A bend in the road is not the end of the road, unless you fail to make the turn”- Helen Keller Happy New Year everyone! I hope you all had a nice winter break. After meeting a few bends in the road at the end of last semester, I used the opportunity to put my […]

Joining up the dots It’s been a tough gig managing overlapping intensive periods, with multiple assignments, group work and readings. However, what I have enjoyed about the overwhelming and simultaneous influx of information, is that I have started to notice similarities between the courses I am taking, and have begun thinking about how these may […]
