She got the job: Supporting Smart Works
This summer I had the chance to work with Smart Works Leeds, supporting unemployed women back into work across Yorkshire. It was an amazing experience, and below documents my highlights and challenges of my six week placement.
Week 2: Getting ahead
Week 2 was a good one as I got ten days into my project, a third of the way there! This week had more challenges than the last, but it has made a lasting impression as I now have an idea of what to do next...
Mentor Meeting 2: Ironing out the Details
This was the second meeting that I have had with my mentor on Week 2 of my project. Here, we had a constructive conversation about what needed to be focused on and improved in order to make the next step of research easier and effective.
Week 5: Getting to the Final Push
This week made the end of my project feel a lot more real! I am now over half way through my analysis and writing up my findings as I go for ease. As I hit the final week, I feel this has been a real productive start which I needed to make some positive progress.
Week 4: Analysis
This is the week where my analysis begins before moving onto writing up my conclusions next week.
Week 6: The End!
This blog covers my final week of research. Although it is slightly delayed in being uploaded, this covers the final week of discourse analysis and where I am standing at the end of six really interesting weeks. I aim to publish a reflection on my project shortly.
Week 1: Reflections on the Beginning
This week was the first start of my project! Focusing on the analysis of the key text within my project: “The Inclusive Society” by Ruth Levitas, as getting to know the core concepts of her work is the first important step to understanding the direction my research may go in.
Mentor Meeting 1: Getting Started
This was the first official meeting of the project I had with my mentor, Dan Keith. We discussed the progress for Week One, as well as what needed to be prioritised over the upcoming weeks as I get into the details of my research.
Week 3: The Halfway Point
This week was one of preparation ready to start my analysis in Week 4. This is the official half way point of my six week project, and I have been getting to grips with some of the fascinating secondary literature and journal articles following last weeks discussion with my mentor.
