It seems that spending time thinking about 'stuff' can lead to activity like actual research and writing!...i wrote an abstract, submitted it for a conference (Making Futures), and, after blind peer review, it was accepted!!!
Now it seems I need to actually write a paper....what was previously a dabbling with theoretical ideas / discourses / texts now needs to become an exciting 20 minute presentation and super funky paper! In a moment of madness I also submitted two further abstracts to International conferences so who knows...I could be trying to find a way to get out to Canada next year to present at the Aesthetics of Renewal Conference!
The title of my paper is Making Pasts: investigating the sustainability of family stories in a digital age
You can see how it is a culmination of some of the work here on this blogsite, and I guess the idea of the blog was to try to evidence that there was some kind of research going on during the last academic year, however crude it may have appeared!
So I need to write a paper...watch this space...
oh and because a post wouldn't be complete without a picture, here's an awesome photo by Tony-Ray Jones, taken in Brighton...love it!
