This week has been hectic Somehow despite averaging on about 2.5 hours of sleep this week, the over-riding feeling I have is one of enrichment. I’m yet to process, organise or contextualise much of the information I’ve been fed but thankfully I’ve had quite a few moments where I’ve seen parallels between my courses and […]
First off, I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude for the great comments and questions I’ve been getting from classmates. These have given me much to think about, as did points made in our cohort meeting in week 3. Some highlights from last week that I wanted to highlight because I found something especially […]
Week 5: I’ve been looking a few weeks ago at how data exists in society, At the beginning, my understanding of data was not so strong, and it was still superficial. This week, my understanding of data has been overturned, and I know how it affects our daily life and study. In our specialized courses, […]
In a previous blog I mentioned sharing some reflections on an article from the “Built Infrastructure” list about toilets in Tema, Ghana. A dog walk on day two of our Exclusion and Inequality intensive had me thinking of what happened to the community around public toilets in this article: Public things, excremental politics, and the […]

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 […]
Hi everyone! This week I finish my last intensive course! But I don’t have too much time to have a rest. I have several prpjects to fininsh. Since I came here, I was deeply touched by my teachers and classmates. I got a lot of inspirations from them! Last week I still have a lot […]
With more intensive days, I have been taking more courses. This week I took a course on writing speculative fiction, and as a non-native speaker, writing a pure English novel is incredibly difficult for me. At the same time, it’s been a long time since I graduated from high school since I’ve been exposed to […]
