Welcome to the Phd Blog
Tutorial in Swansea with Robert Newell, Andrea Liggins and Catrin Webster.
Discussed thesis texts in terms of:
* time management issues in terms of the integrity of a relational practice and in particular in a resilient community context, i.e. ongoing.
* metaphore in both the writing and practice
* timetable for submission, viva and show
* clarifying central question (which I thought I’d arrived at), finding a way to clarify and write about this
* animated sticks

meeting with Sue Reed at Ruskin Mill to discuss our PhDs. Helpful to discuss differences and similarities. Both have a walking and community element. I was aware of Sue’s being very much about making as embedded knowledge, made me feel that my work is becoming conceptual/abstract by comparison and reminded me of the need to get back to making rather than holding the idea of making in my mind.
