Two years ago today, I submitted my thesis for assessment. I& #39;ve finally got round to serialising extracts of it. Read the first post and download the thesis here. More to follow over the next four weeks! #DigitalEthnography #Folklore #Orkney #Place #Space http://lydiacrow.com/2020/03/30/thesis-introduction/">https://lydiacrow.com/2020/03/3...
And because WordPress is sometimes a bit rubbish about social media previews in tweets, here& #39;s the photo I chose to accompany the first post: The Man and The Osa on our 2016 trip to Orkney (expect this to be the photo-theme of the serialisation!). #Crowditch #TheOsa
The second installment of serialised extracts of my thesis: (most of) the #Folklore part of my Literature Review. #DigitalEthnography #Orkney #Place #Space #LitReview
