I am beginning a huge creation at the moment. A Thesis. Yes, Thesis with a capital T. I have just begun my honours year at uni and am writing a thesis on the significance of the Shoalhaven River for young people as seen through participatory mapping.
What this means is that I go down to Nowra (the town on the river), get some groups of kids together and ask them to draw on a map where they like to go on the river and what things they do there and who they go with, etc... then I analyse the maps and what they say and find out the significance of the river. It sounds so simple!
I have until October to do all this, write it all up and continue reading the academic literature surrounding it. I have up to 25,000 words. Today I submitted a 10-page introductory outline. Off to a (hoppefully) good start!
