A Widening Gap – BCM206 DA Pitch

For my BCM206 Digital Artefact, I have decided to continue a DA that I started a few months back for the subject BCM325, Future Cultures. In this DA I began a blog in order to explore current issues and themes that I had noticed, as an Aboriginal woman, that left a divide between Indigenous and…

ATRL – Making

Although it’s been several months now, the nerves of producing content for the public to view still somewhat makes me nervous..

Media Influence in the NRL

My first three (3) blogs for the subject BCM241 have proven to be affective as it has furthered my skills and given me a fantastic idea for my Project Development Research (PDR) task for this subject. In my first post, I had written about being in a media space and what exactly it was that…

Research Project Reflection

One thing I struggled with during this project was putting together a consent form to include with the research project survey, as I wanted people to be aware of their rights and for them to know that they could always contact me if need be. Once I had sorted out the consent form, I then…
