I met with my colleague Wande Awoniyi to discuss my survey planning. Wande delivers Unit 8, which focuses on Professional Development and runs alongside Unit 7. Last year FC students gave feedback that the Industry speakers/ focus was not tailored enough towards Fashion Communication pathways. She was keen to see how this research might also… Continue reading Survey Design

Student-centered guest lectures
My Unit 2 intervention was focused on the need for dialogic space, and it’s potential to open up a space for collaborative meaning making. Perhaps for the upcoming industry talks day, it is less about collaborative discussion, and instead on industry conversation as a means of confidence building, and students valuing their own voices. Everything… Continue reading Student-centered guest lectures

Ethical Action Plan – Updated
I have been experimenting with using Miro in my teaching to support the opening up of dialogical space with a large cohort of 50 students. This ARP will focus specifically on how it can be employed with Industry Talks for this purpose. Forging connections to industry is key to Stage 2, so it will also… Continue reading Ethical Action Plan – Updated

This idea had been in the background, and is an extension of the work done… Continue reading ARP Refocus Idea
Miro Board Reflection
I decided to do a Miro board to help me map the relationship between the research topics I am exploring. It was incredibly helpful to see the connections. Please look at the board in full here. This visual way of mapping ideas comes more naturally! I had a moment of clarity, and have decided not… Continue reading Miro Board Reflection

A Week In The World – Situated Knowledge
I have been thinking about Participatory Mapping as a project tool. In ‘Diagrams of Power and Performing, Patricio Davila explores how diagrams of power work against representations that claim omniscience by speaking from a position, and “making visible what and who gets represented and who does the representing.” Projects whereby research knowledge is generated via… Continue reading A Week In The World – Situated Knowledge
Research Methods
(draft) My artistic practice outside of CSM is very much research led, focussing on projects which harness participation and public engagement, from crowdsourcing, working with visual ethnography techniques to participatory youth led initiatives. I am naturally drawn to participatory research methods, and I would also like to know more about Auto-ethnography. However, it’s a bit of… Continue reading Research Methods
