Deep into research right now, getting deeper into sense of place (which is sadly stopping me from doing my lit review).
I guess what I’m wondering now, and it’s not something I’ve deeply thought about before, is how do we really build a sense of place (and is it worth it). I’ve thought of some ideas before but haven’t really applied any research to it, or any sort of methodology.
The whole researching world is getting a little more complicated, this idea of transitioning between just someone who is, and someone who researches and creates is pretty difficult.
So, this week is mostly reading, next week is mostly writing. Meeting once more next week to make sure I’m on track and then I really write the paper.
I guess, my biggest idea now is what is sense of place really all about, why does it matter, and who creates it.
