"What I do is work with deprived communities in regeneration
work. I think that social sciences generally were of interest
to me because I'm interested in how society works, in how
people work. I'm interested, particularly, in how policies
are set. And I think the DXR220 course about the Information
Society, particularly, was interesting to me because it's
about how society works with technology. And we've particularly
been looking at how some people are losers within that information
society and so those people are very much the people that
I would be working with.
For me the course has been; hectic, challenging, fast paced
really, very interesting, learnt a great deal. I think the
best thing about the course, for me, has been going away and
doing a very quick piece of research and feeling that you've
got hardly any evidence at all to really slot in to the sorts
of things that you're trying to prove, if you like. And then
when we came to put it all together and present it, realising
that actually we had achieved a great deal. It's that achievement,
I think, over a very, very short space of time.
It is quite difficult, sometimes...
