Approach
The way I'm approaching this is two fold.


 * 1) Sharing what I'm discovering personally with others - open, networked, mobile;
 * 2) Constructively challenging others to do the same - catalyst for change.

Freedom Within Constraint
Simple and fundamental truths that guide my PhD journey:


 * Critical inquiry and responsible action taking - seek & follow sound advice;
 * Exercising regularly my democratic freedom & right to personal expression - live by the consequences;
 * Observing and respect the privacy and personal security of others - point, reflect, poetically encode inference;
 * Leading by example - active investment in the field of research contribution

Process

 * 1) Health - in mind and spirit first and above all else;
 * 2) Family - competing for first place;
 * 3) Employment - eat and be merry;
 * 4) Life Experiences - map, measure and make available openly online;
 * 5) Portfolio - develop a sound data management, time management and attribution;
 * 6) Profile - reflect across all channels for ease of others seeking authenticity via cross referencing;
 * 7) Literature Review - collect, collate and build a reasoned case;
 * 8) Interviews - humans, people and sentient beings;
 * 9) Case Studies - actual (vs perceived);
 * 10) Read & write & present - always.
 * 11) Profess - and be open to change. A PhD is nothing more than the end of the beginning.
