Change of Direction

Over the summer I've been reviewing my proposal for COP3 and have decided to alter the direction I was heading in, in order to allow this module to be something that I find slightly more engaging. Previously I was thinking of focusing on Femzines. I have an interest in DIY culture and the communities that rise up around that and felt that combining this with feminist elements of my research and study would allow me to write and create work on something that I was passionate about.

Over the summer I've been reading alot about social media and the impact it has on our generation. I've read a few articles and probably should have read some more books before this point but I feel that this is the direction I want to take COP3 in. I don't feel that it's overly far from my previous essay's as in both first and second year I've touched on advertising and media and the effect it has on women and mental health. This is just a vague blogpost to highlight the fact that my ideas are shifting a little. I think the next best thing for me to do is to start researching and reading and begin to define my ideas more clearly. I need to buy a notebook.
