As I begin writing my proposal, I thought I’d post my latest visuals for anyone reading this. The following visual is a summary of the methodological choices I have made for my research. This next visual is a sort of bird’s eye view of the research project.

To summarise the previous two methodological ideations. The first post looked into: Quant vs Qual, Type of data to be used & hence, document/textual analysis strategy. The second post looked into: The research’s philosophy In this post, I have 3 quite big visuals to display that will illustrate: the possible methodological strategies I explored; the […]

        Whilst I’ve been exploring possible methodologies, I attended an event that took place at the institute and a lecturer told me about a research philosophy which, from the very second I heard it, I knew it not only aligned with my original conceptual intention for this research but it was also […]

Now that the direction and scope of my project is narrowing down to a project that would be feasible given the time constraints, it’s time to set my sights on the methodological choices that will underpin my research.     During my undergraduate degree we were shown Saunders et al. (2019) research onion to guide […]

Before continuing from my last post, I decided to re-examine my direction and specifically the scope of the overarching theme in contrast with what is feasible given the boundaries set by the institute (re word count). I find the overarching theme fascinating but in exploring its vastness, I began to question whether the literature and […]

Picking off where I left off, after some more reflection I came to the conclusion that the 2 questions above were actually two sides of the same coin. In other words, they were coming at the overarching theme from two different, but parallel, angles – the theoretical vs the practical. I reshuffled the different sub-points […]

Following my last post, in which I finished by saying that I had to narrow down my focus and begin to come up with potential questions, I came up with 5 interlinked questions that I believe tackle the overarching theme from slightly different angles/intervals. Below is a visualisation of these questions and their link to […]

So, the first meeting with my supervisor went well, he liked the direction I am going in and suggested some literature to help me narrow down my focus. Though I think the second last paragraph of “From Broad Curiosities to a Broad Idea” really sums things up: “So, this is where I’m at regarding my […]

In beginning this semester and in preparation for my 1st supervisor meeting, I decided to breakdown my previous post – “From Broad Curiosities to a Broad Idea”. I did this for a couple of reasons, firstly, because after several years of further education I have finally come to the realisation that I am quite a […]

From Broad Curiosities to a Broad Idea Embarking on the journey of conceptualising a research project in Data and AI Ethics has been a fascinating exploration, weaving through diverse themes, my contemplations embraced a spectrum of ideas, each seemingly disparate yet intricately connected by the overarching umbrella of Data and AI Ethics. The initial spark […]
