The festive break is over and it's back to work we go. But it's been an excellent chance to get some serious study time in. With my husband working days, evenings and weekends, I've ignored the washing up, the hoovering and the laundry and spent days and days pouring...
Today has been quite a revelation! I've spent the last few weekends transcribing my interviews. Today I started analysing them. Even though I conducted the interviews and transcribed them, i hadn't really fully understood what each of my interviewees had been saying....
Today I’ve spent some time re-reading my research methodology chapter, moving things around and changing bits about. And I had a lightbulb moment. I discovered a new article about my research philosophy, unconnected to ontology...
