And The Reviews Are In: Evaluating Digital Dwelling
It’s been a while since I’ve had time to sit down and properly write a reflexive blog post about anything to do with my PhD, and considering I’m currently finalising the last chapter of my thesis now seemed like as good a time as any! If you keep up with the blog you will know […]

Talking Theory and a Thought Provoking Visit to the Kelvingrove Museum
