Formally reviewed

It's been some time since my last post, I put this down to being very busy.

Last week I had my Formal Review (like an Annual Review, but they call the first one a Formal Review). It went well and brought up some interesting points to think about.

I'm currently working on a range of things. The literature review continues (and will continue for some time yet, as guided by my case studies), I'm developing a conceptual framework, on which to base my methodologies and also doing things like finalising my poster for the regional competition, preparing my presentation for a conference and writing another conference paper.

And the winner is...

Last Wednesday (22nd April 2009) was the De Montfort University Research Degree Students' Poster Competition and Research Showcase event.

I had entered a poster and so got there ready to present my Poster and Research to a panel of judges and other interested parties.

At the end of the day the results were announced, and as you can imagine I was very pleased when I was awarded first place!

This means that I will now go on to the Regional Finals with the top-five poster winners from DMU.

First conference paper accepted

Great news! The first conference paper abstract I have submitted has been accepted. The title of the paper is "The role of discipline boundaries in transdisciplinary research". The conference is "Interrogations - Creative Interdisciplinary in Art and Design Research Conference", to be held at Loughborough University, 1st and 2nd July 2009.

This is really good news as it means my work will be peer-reviewed, a key part of the PhD. So now, I have to put the paper together and produce a PowerPoint to accompany my 20 minute presentation.
