Howard S. Becker once said, “Methodology is too important to be left to methodologists.” And designer Bruce Mau is quoted saying, “Avoid fields. Jump fences: disciplinary boundaries and regulatory regimes are attempts to control the wilding of creative life.”
I’m in the process of writing a methodology chapter for my dissertation. I thought I’d easily dump the “whys,” “hows” and “whats” of my research – how naive I was. Of course I am getting to know myself and that I make things more difficult for myself than they often need to be.
It is an invigorating process of reflection and research. I love this.
peace, dwight
method & jumping fences
