Proposed title: Performing the Anthropocene:human and non-human animal interactions in the Corbières region of France
Throughout my time as a student of photography since September 2017, I have enjoyed working on the range of projects I have engaged with. I find project work an ideal way for me to learn many different aspects of the art and craft of being a photographer. As I came towards the completion of the MA Photography at Falmouth University in August 2023, I began to realise that my apprenticeship in Photography remained a work in progress and that I wished to continue being challenged, to learn and to be creative.
I presented an application to Falmouth University Institute of Photography for a studentship withing their ENVIRO/ PHOTO doctoral research brief. I successfully passed through the application processes and in July 2023, the university wrote to offer me a place on my chosen doctoral programme to start on 1st October that year.
The first year of the Falmouth doctorate has consisted of an extensive programme of workshops around research topics plus completion of the process of registering the thesis titles, developing a research ethics strategy, completing a risk assessment, and presenting an update of my work at a summer symposium (this blog entry is based on that update). The second year commences in September 2024 by when I hope to be in full PhD research mode.
