Exciting Instalments

Following on from the post yesterday, Ian and I are making great progress. In a meeting yesterday, we've decided that we need to have a methodical stratagem to approach these two conferences.

I have been collating information, and have developed an outline of the paper, I need Ian to write a synopsis of the game so that we have a point of discussion. We have decided that we are still in the preliminary stages of the research, so we may not get round to actually conducting qualitative research before we give our presentations.

The WIRAD paper might just explore where are how Ian and I started working together and propose some areas that we will explore in future. For the BSA conference, we need to produce a beautiful poster outlining our research questions and again, we will propose areas to be explored in future.

Another opportunity has presented itself, there is a call for papers from the online journal Surveillance and Society - http://www.surveillance-and-society.org for an October Issue of the journal called: Performance, New Media, and Surveillance. The deadline is 31st of March, so I am also working towards submitting for that, too. In for a penny, in for a pound, eh?

Ian is doing sterling work with consent forms, and has sent an outline of our research to the School's Ethics Committee. He has also been busy collecting images for the game, so its going to look really cool.

So there we are, all up and running, keep reading for another exciting instalment!
