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.
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 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.
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 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.
Mentor Meeting 3: Wrapping up to the Conclusion
This is the third meeting I have had with my mentor over my research project. This week we had a long discussion about how we can finalise the project while making room for development past the six week mark.
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.
