For my companion paper I would like to explore the juncture that externally funded research in AAH has reached, how we arrived here, and what forms of communication will aid in the navigation of this juncture for the success of future researchers in our College. My primary audience for my project is faculty and graduate students in the College of Architecutre, Arts and Humanities at Clemson University.
In order to successfully navigate this juncture, communication on externally funded research needs not only to be useful, but credible. Remediating the current AAH Research website is a starting point. Providing a variety of ways to access information will enable diverse individuals to access information to his or her preference. The remediation will hopefully project a professional and credible author that is concerned enough to tailor the site to multiple preferences. Below is a proposed outline for the paper.
I. Critical juncture in the research culture at Clemson University and the College of Architecture, Arts and Humanities.
a. Why are we at this juncture?
b. What means of communication that have been, and will be ,effective to address the past and look forward to the future?
i. Possible social influences and informational pressure
II. Remediation of the AAH Research website will attempt to begin the remediation of a research culture.
a. Why attempt to remediate the website?
b. What are the potential obstacles?
c. What is the possible impact on the current research culture?
III. What social and informational influence does the current research culture have on this project?ie
a. Group failure
b. Cascades
IV. Future projects

Hi Diana. I think that this is a great outline for your paper and I'm excited to see your finished product on Monday! In part II letter c , you talk about exploring the possible impact of the current research culture, but I think that it might be necessary to also make light of what the current research culture actually is. I think that you could also explore how you believe that this remediated website will specifically help transition through the juncture versus having a different solution.
ReplyDeleteDear Diana,
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I didn't see in your outline that I wondered about was a discussion of the multiple research cultures in AAH. My sense (from this side) is that there are several different ones. If this is true, you might want to say something about it.
I look forward to reading it!
