Had supervision session with Catherine Hayes on 09.03.15 and made hand written notes. Realised it would be useful to continue this blog archive to include my sessions with her as all will (probably) form part of the final portfolio.
We discussed Methdology. Catherine particularly discussed Phenomenology and Auto-ethnography in relation to my research. Specifically Modes of Reflection, reliability, authenticity. She mentioned Theological research which uses Reflection on Self to a great degree. Here is an extract from an email from Catherine as follow up to the session:
"It was great to catch up earlier. Adele Clarke's work develops Grounded Theory and is called 'Situational Analysis'. The other two I think we mentioned were in relation to Existential and Interpretive Phenomenology and are philosophers called Heidegger and Husserl. We mentioned them when we chatted about Phenomenology being a philosophy as well as a method"
I have a note about Butcher and Interpretative Phenomenology ...also found interesting reference to

Quinney, R Beyond the Interpretive: The Way of Awareness. Trying to gain access to this!

I've managed to blag an Inspection copy of Adele Clarke's book. Looks like I have a lot of reading to do over the next few months! I'm keen to start some form of interviews and observations towards the  summer and hope that Thomas Kampe's Symposium in June will kick start this as well as the publication of the journal article around the same time.
