IM1 Reading 08

So a bit of (okay a really) odd reading this week. This was an extract from: Shields, David. Reality Hunger: A Manifesto. New York: Vintage, 2011 Adrian sums up this weeks reading like this:  “Shields is a creative nonfiction writer, and this is a fantastic book. Why are we reading this? Because it is all…

IM1 Week 9 Lecture

IM Week 7 lecture.

Some notes I was able to grab from this weeks lecture, not very extensive, just dot points provoking some interesting thoughts.

Week 7 reflections / Problems

So this weeks class was cancelled. (Just a little note for me when I wonder why later on it was that I didn’t blog about this weeks endeavours)
