My first MAPP blog
I am writing this first blog already in my sixth week of MAPP, I think my feet are finally settling on the ground.When I started , I immediately hit a panic because I had and still have serious connectivity issues and feeling like I was left behind (FOMO), this only increased my levels. I have just been part of the group discussion earlier today and what I take from it is to be able to look broadly in my research and readings, as I look for answers to some of my questions regarding ethics and research within my own Setswana traditional dance ... I am made aware of much I need to explore how to treat research and the conflict of how much to share in respect of cultural ritual, secrets and sacred information and preserving my heritage.
I believe that as I continue this MAPP journey so will I eventually find guidance and answers in compiling and sharing my research, I also know that my strong personal ethics will ensure that respect and dignity is paramount.
I appreciate the clarity I got from understanding that research does not have to be quantitative but more about my own understanding because only I know my experiences...(I have so much to learn and discover 😬)
Does anyone know any articles that I can read of people that have written on indigenous arts and research? I am interested in their approaches and framework used in the work.
