Overview

Have you ever been scared by an empty page? Sometimes just beginning a project is the hardest part.

What was I thinking? Process

In this talk, our speakers reflect on their own processes. What were the experiments and deviations that caused the most unexpected outcomes? What were their highest highs and lowest lows? What were the detours that ended up leading them to their final destination, or were left behind as the detritus of a sprawling design project? How did they make the first mark?

Join us to hear from early career researchers on the methods and processes that drive their work. We welcome and encourage questions and discussion.

‘What was I thinking?’ is a pair of talks that dive deeper into the themes of the ‘Methods of Matter | Matter of Methods’ exhibition. They are prompted by the moments of learning and uncertainty that carry through every PhD process.
