This week, our group met with principal stakeholder in our project and clarified the types of data with which they would be willing and able to provide us. Ahead of this, each member of our group had prepared questions related to their section of the brief, and our stakeholder’s responses helped us to further refine our research question.

Later in the week, we attended a skills workshop on referencing skills and Zotero, which was an amazing opportunity to develop my research skills and explore a new software.

During our team building evening at Junkyard Golf Club, I was able to get to know my fellow Scholars in a much more relaxed environment, as well as during our team lunch in Blackbird Leys. Supporting students at Powerhouse Games provided an invaluable opportunity to personally connect with the community that we are working to serve.

Next week, our group will attend workshops on research methodologies and methods to support our development of the method and methodology sections of our research question, as well as a tour with Uncomfortable Oxford.
