A Journey of Being With Becky 4 of 4 YouTube video by The Sensory Projects

My viva is in 1.5hr. I'll be defending the work WE did, I'd love to be able to take the four people who collaborated on the work with me into the viva with me, but that is not possible. What I can do is share them with you in these 4 films. 4/4 youtu.be/jO88wak5C9o #phdlife #vivaprep #PIMD #PMLD

"Kill your darlings", is the advice given to writers (but I figured they were writers of great works of literary fiction, not of academic theses so I kept this little four word darling of mine!) #phdlife #vivaprep #PIMD #PMLD

I read from 9am to 9pm yesterday but didn't quite finish my thesis read through so today there's a few more snippets before I go into my viva.

Theory from those seeking to decolonise research acted like a mirror, when held up to my work it created a kaleidoscope which when turned revealed different insights. #PIMD #PMLD #vivaprep #phdlife

The disorientating experience of working through Being With with people with #PIMD #PMLD chimed with provocations from decolonising research, which in turn helped me make sense of the bewilderment.

I'm used to gaining knowledge being an empowering experience. But knowing in new ways is often disconcerting as those seeking to decolonise research can attest. #phdlife #vivaprep #PIMD #PMLD

My phd developed a method (Being With) for doing research WITH people with profound intellectual disabilities, I love this description of how using the method felt. #PIMD #PMLD #phdlife #vivaprep

Beyond identity: what if it is not all the things that the other conceptualisations said it was? Wouldn't people with #PIMD #PMLD be fine companions to explore different perspectives with! #phdlife #vivaprep

Identity isn't an object you can point to, it is a form of meaning. Meaning is created between people, those viewing identity as discursive look for it in the discursive pool, the sediment of stories that surround people.
What stories are told about people with #PIMD #PMLD ?

Structuralist renderings of identity view who a person is to be created from outside of them, rather than an expression of a core aspect of them. Under this paradigm we could ask what structures shape the identities of people with #PMLD #PIMD
