Glancing through the blogs by my classmates, it appears it’s a truth universally accepted that this term is just flying by. In my case, I guess it’s no different. But there has still been time for some quirky surprises. In Service to a Higher Power A project I thought was in a coma may be […]

 “How can we make sure our government services are inclusive, especially as we move into digital transformation and make more services available through digital means (which has impacts to improve inclusivity and also cause exclusion)?” Thinking about my project topic and an additional question springs to mind. When you move towards digital only platforms to […]

In the midst of this stressful period of work, I’m reflecting a little on how I got on this course and which sorts of organisations I’d like to work with in future. I know it’s a little late, but I still really like the idea of working with a project partner on my final project […]

This is my second post in SEM2. [Missed Schedule from 13/02]   Don’t know what happened to this post, but this post seems to be missing from my published posts. So just gonna re-post it now.   Just will be a quick review of the progress in week 4:   Everything is back on track […]

How are we in week 5 already? Been really enjoying this term and this course if anything is certainly broadening my horizons – though I wish I had an extra week in between each week to read everything! I’ve been bringing up what I’m reading and learning in my team meetings at work and also […]

Weeks 3 and 4 Week 3 was a READING WEEK and after spending some time adjusting to the exhaustion of a busy second week of classes, I started reading for the post-epidemic society in Week 4.

Week 4 seems to have been absolutely flying and reflecting upon it that is almost maybe my doings – Wednesdays were dedicated to our lecture & then PhD interviews and Thursday was a celebratory day for my partner who finished his educational training. So this might be the reason it does NOT feel like a […]

I’ve got the chance to take classes on Inclusive Society as well as Data and Design for a Post-Covid City during the last four weeks. I heard about Universal Basic Income (UBI) in Inclusive Society. Under UBI, each qualifying citizen or resident is given a certain sum of money each month. This type of government […]

The beginning of this semester has been a busy one, with three weeks of Monday/Tuesday intensives, weekly hands-on and insightful courses on a Wednesday at 1am, several group projects and some creative assignments to think about. I feel like I have learned a lot and am exploring more concepts, methods and spaces outside of my […]
