recalculating

We have an interim critique this week and I think it is important to stand back.  The main thrust of my Masters is the use of text in textiles.  I am referencing fourth wave feminism. 

Thank goodness fourth wave feminism focusses on issues rather than the politics of feminism.   Fourth wave feminism uses technology to campaign and communicate.  I think I keep it as simple as that - text, technology, campaigns.  My favourite phrases are 'feminism is for everybody' the title of a book by bell hook (third wave);'the personal is political' (unattributed, 2nd wave) and 'deeds not words' which is first wave.

Next week I will be delivering my presentation in the lecture theatre and I need to revisit stats which back up the need for feminism.  I need to be clear about my audience, what I am trying to say, how I want to say it and why.
