After catching up on the methodology lesson, it helped me finalise my ideas but also to think about other avenues I could explore and how I could structure my research. It made me think about how I would like to include some type of statistics in my work and how it would add a more in-depth analysis to the data. This is an area that’s always fascinated me.  I’m excited for what this project will bring about and how it could enhance my career. 

Hey, This is just a quick check in after Mondays lesson on Ethics. Ethics sounded overly complicated when I first read through the module handbook, but after this lesson I understand it is pretty much about making sure everyone involved feels safe and that we look at everything with our best intentions. I think this will be challenging because it isn’t something we think of everyday.  But as long as we try to think of what’s best for everyone each step of the way, it should be an ethical research project. I am still in-between ideas at the moment as want to make sure I have a concrete idea by the end of the week so I have plenty of time to research before the more form needs to be done.

After a horrendous two days laying in bed I finally watching back the lesson on little wonders, I’ve been able to start brainstorming some ideas for my project, which is very exciting! So far … My little wonders are: Different perspectives from the audience  Why do we collaborate? working outside the normal 9-5 Meeting different people can you always learn and progress what does meeting my potential look like My big questions are: Letting people be individual  Judged less on looks and body image, more on talent Making auditions affordable (travel, headshots, etc) Age not being asked at auditions (unless under 18) Pay gaps and why some skills should be considered a lesser skill I feel like I am starting to have some potential avenues to explore which mades me very excited

After having my first read through of the module 2 handbook, I’m feeling a little more excited about the next 12 weeks. I can understand the process a bit more and look forward to the lesson on little wonders .

After the first zoom call for module 2, I am feeling a little nervous but excited for the next 12 weeks. I believe they will be rewarding but very challenging.
