Field Analogy
Notes from Kim's seminar:
1.11.17 What is a research field?
Field became an analogy for me:
Field: it has boundaries, perimeters, fences. (these can be trespassed over if necessary)
Focus and relevance: Too wide or fenceless and the digging is not deep enough.
Ideas and philosophies - strain of crop
Similar thinkers with similar problems with commonalities - crop/inahbitants
Different disciplines/ideas create difference and more questions - alien crop (however this can cross fertilise and create more strains) .
Create a map of the research field - topographically but also geologically, the soil and the surface.
