Wellbeing – a doctoral thinking post – Newbie Researcher
https://newbieresearcher.wordpress.com/2015/05/12/wellbeing-a-doctoral-thinking-post
Wellbeing – a doctoral thinking post. May 12, 2015. May 12, 2015. This uncertainty is hardly helping my sense of well, you know…. Governmental organisations – and not just in the UK – have expressed the need to focus on wellbeing. Were you aware that it was nearly a decade ago, that David Cameron (2006) gave a speech about his commitment – not to GDP, but GWB – the general wellbeing of the people? 8211; the reduction of pain and prioritisation of happiness or pleasure, although not necessarily the wild a...

July 2015 – Newbie Researcher
https://newbieresearcher.wordpress.com/2015/07
Ethics, the personal, and the need to care for yourself as researcher. July 22, 2015. July 22, 2015. So, not posted for a while the PhD engine caught up speed and carried me along. I have been / am busy with writing and presenting opportunities all very lovely. The Facebook research group is amazing and I am tackling the analysis of hundreds of comments. And then and then a stunning blow from left-field. I spoke to my lead supervisor, who was kindly supportive and keen to understand how she could support...

No trolls allowed? – Newbie Researcher
https://newbieresearcher.wordpress.com/2015/02/16/no-trolls-allowed
February 16, 2015. February 16, 2015. I was fortunate enough to hear Sarat Maharaj. Of Lund University (and previously of Goldsmiths) speak recently about art, textiles and knowledge production at the Cultural Threads. Which I wrote about here. And more recently the ‘Crochet-Along’ efforts of Dedri Uy. 8216; found it necessary to post that she was stepping away from the site temporarily as the trolling posts were too distressing to manage. Why trolling happens at all is a much bigger conversation than ca...

Ethics and materials – Newbie Researcher
https://newbieresearcher.wordpress.com/2015/02/17/ethics-and-materials
February 17, 2015. I was fortunate to meet John Fass in November, when this was quite new – an interesting reflection on working ethically … as well as a creative way to explore social networks. Enjoy. I’ve been making a prototype this week for exhibition in a ‘work in progress’ exhibition and thinking about the moral dimensions of material engagement with research artefacts from a few different angles.

on getting out of a stuck place – Newbie Researcher
https://newbieresearcher.wordpress.com/2015/07/16/on-getting-out-of-a-stuck-place
On getting out of a stuck place. July 16, 2015. My academic fan-girling of Pat Thompson continues as she makes me feel better about writing / unwriting / rewriting once more. Don’t get me wrong, I did have a draft. But it wasn’t a messy first draft in which everything was roughly in the right place. This was a draft in which one chapter was distinctly out of sorts, and another wasn’t in rude. 1,429 more words. Writing retreat: Dedicated time away to write and revise. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Art and D...

For wellbeing & productivity: breathe. pause. be. – Newbie Researcher
https://newbieresearcher.wordpress.com/2015/07/17/for-wellbeing-productivity-breathe-pause-be
For wellbeing and productivity: breathe. pause. be. July 17, 2015. Great reflection and advice here. Come forth into the light of things, let Nature be your teacher. Like many educators, I love my work and I love to work. Not only that, as a PhD researcher I love my PhD. Treating it like a luxury, a privilege and precious ‘me time’. While I’ve acknowledged before that we need to give ourselves permission to take a break. I’m often not very good at it. Sometimes I have to force myself to take a break.

Does Quality Matter? – Newbie Researcher
https://newbieresearcher.wordpress.com/2015/03/24/does-quality-matter
March 24, 2015. March 24, 2015. It fell to me this week to present to our PhD Art and Design seminar group – the topic was to examine notions of quality and ‘yardsticks’ in evaluating exhibited work (or, as I was rather more interested, whether work needs to be exhibited? I am, in my lefty, arty way, uncomfortable with the language of ‘quality’ – is that with a capital Q, and therefore bringing in ideas about quality assurance and an established view of what must be best? Bronson can be considered as an ...
