Researcher Profile
I'm Emma Agusita.
Essentially this blog relates to my PhD research project. My philosophy is that as knowledge production is socially dynamic in nature it is necessarily co-produced, therefore I would like to term the approach, process and context of this research 'participatory'.
I have a background as an informal educator - specialising in facilitating projects and activities which aim to enable young people to engage in learning and development using creative digital media technologies and processes.
