In approaching my upcoming project, I recognise three key challenges that require thoughtful consideration and mitigation, which I discuss below.
1. Focusing on the right subject(s)
First, there’s the risk of focusing too much on the political and economic aspects of my project idea and neglecting the ethical side. To address this, I plan to carefully and critically consider my final idea, in addition to discussing and agreeing it with my supervisor.
2. Communicating my thought processes
Secondly, I have some concerns that, due to my project’s potentially abstract nature, I will have difficulty justifying its intentions, methods of communication (whatever they may be) and execution. To tackle this, I’ll maintain a systematic record of my evolving ideas in a journal, this blog, or similar space. I hope that such documentation will help both to map my thought processes and to allow me to communicate them in my final project.
3. Completely justifying my argument
Lastly, I aim to mitigate the risk of missing a significant critique or counterpoint of my argument by undergoing early extensive reading of diverse sources. This should allow me to construct a well-rounded understanding of the subject and will reduce the risk of blind spots.
══════════════════
I haven’t undertaken a large creative project before, so I will be treading carefully during the preparation stage. I look forward to overcoming the challenges outlined above.
