Starting up

Since ethics clearance from 2 universities, my PhD journey has become more real. 

Because reflection is a crucial aspect of my research project, I have been grappling with ideas of how I can share my thoughts and feelings in an authentic and critical manner without using too much text as in the traditional formats. Visual teaching and learning is my preference.

A recent introduction to photovoice methodology gave me new insights and inspiration to try this route with myself and to even offer it to my students. Below is an image (taken in a sauna) depicting the apparent murkiness at the start of a big research project. Looking into the picture are the lines and blocks symbolizing the numerous steps and stages that will mark the progress of this project.
