All I can do is try

Here, I would add a copy of my final presentation slides (these might be in Powerpoint, PDF, keynote or another presentation format). This will be uploaded by 9am on the day of my presentation assessment.   I would ensure that the file is clearly named so that tutors and external examiners can easily identify the final version. For example:  RachelMarsden_ARP_Presentation_Final.pdf 

Here, I would put my bibliography: an alphabeticised (A-Z) list of all sources I have cited and engaged with throughout my project. I would check my Harvard referencing against CiteThemRight to ensure consistency and accuracy.   I would update this section regularly as my reading develops, rather than waiting until the end of the project. This section may include academic journals, books, reports, policy and strategy documents, websites,… Continue reading References

‘It’s pretty perfect as it is tbh <3’ ‘It’s a good thing for the photography community at LCC but again, maybe blacklist students/alumnis that have won in a yearly academic cycle (for example if they won between September-June, then they can’t enter again until the next academic year!)‘ Findings, Analysis and Conclusion To investigate the… Continue reading Examples of Data / Project Findings

For the instagram competition re-design I decided to make ‘cover images’ on Canva for each week – hopefully making entering the competition exciting and clearer. Each week was planned out before the beginning of term – I plan to continue to use this model for the competition planning in the future. This section documents the… Continue reading Process images / notes (intervention and analysis)

This research explores how an intersectional approach to the design of the @lcclondonphoto Instagram weekly competitions could support more inclusive representation and engagement among students and alumni. The research considers how different identities, backgrounds and experiences influence individuals’ perceptions of inclusion and participation. Intersectionality, introduced by Crenshaw (1989), recognises how overlapping social identities can shape… Continue reading Research Methods and Data Collection

Before going live with my questionnaire, I built it on Microsoft forms – working on 10 questions in total and sent it over to Carys for review. You can see the notes below – in the email it also stated: There’s one required change before sign off. For the participant information at the top of the questionnaire,… Continue reading Participant-facing documents

Since April 2024, I have managed the weekly Instagram competitions for @lcclondonphoto, offering students and alumni the opportunity to win analogue photographic film gifted by Kodak. When the competition was first introduced, I viewed it as a positive way to engage a broad range of students and alumni through social media, encouraging them to move… Continue reading Topic and Rationale

This is my final Ethical Action Plan, I had initially considered doing a focus group instead of a questionnaire – but after feedback from my tutor Carys Kennedy and the first group tutorial, I redrafted my plan. Shifting to a questionnaire allows me to use the wide outreach of the instagram @lcclondonphoto, hopefully lots of… Continue reading Ethical Action Plan

The intervention is designed around the Media Photography tech-run Instagram account, @lcclondonphoto, and specifically the competitions run during term time – initiatives aimed at highlighting students’ and alumni’s work while offering free analogue film, a resource increasingly out of reach due to rising costs. As the competition designer, my positionality – a 33-year-old white British… Continue reading Inclusive Practices: Reflective Report

I’m white, middle class and a Londoner – born in Bethnal Green and grew up in Stoke Newington. When writing about race – I think you need to be aware of your positionality. There is often a fear amongst white people of saying the ‘wrong thing’ and therefore people tend to shy away and stay… Continue reading Inclusive Practices Blog Post 3: Race
