Poster Session Tomorrow!

Howdy!!

Tomorrow is the poster session for all junior Elon College Fellows. It will be the first time that many of us (myself included) will be presenting our research to anybody in a formal setting and so there is a lot of excitement as well as nervousness happening right now!

The session will take place tomorrow, December 3rd, at 4:30 pm in McKinnon.

When I first began creating the PowerPoint that would eventually become my poster, I was trying to use a fairly structured format based on my project proposal. This included Abstract, Introduction Background, Significance, and Timeline sections. While this breakdown can be applied to my project, Evan quickly pointed out to me that this wasn’t necessarily very representative of the work that I am doing, which is largely based on visual material and multiple creative pursuits. So, after much gutting of the original PowerPoint, rethinking and reworking what I really wanted people to know about what I am doing, I have come up with a much more appropriate poster for my project. It now includes images that I have made throughout my project, images from popular culture that I have been thinking about and considering in light of what I am doing, as well as an excerpt from a  written work of mine that I wrote this semester.

I know that this description is rather vague and hasn’t helped to explain how it all fits into my project, BUT I have attached the PowerPoint (see link below) so that you can look at that OR better yet! Come to the poster session and ask me as many questions as you want! I would love to chat with you :)

Thanks for stopping by.
