Meeting with Linda for supervision
I met with LHW and we discussed the following points
• What themes I was starting to identify
• Further developing some of the themes I am starting to label (noted above). Applying an occupation lenses to frame these theme in relation to concepts and literature within the Occ Sci domain (concept matching). Linda suggested consulting Johansson work on engaging occupation.
• In discussing the theme of place we talked about the conflict that has been noted between the areo club and the blokes shed. In particular the sheds occupying of an area traditionally owned if not actively used by the areo club and the lack of security felt by some of the members as tenants in a share space.
• Occupational transition is one theme that is becoming apparent in the members who join and commit to the shed. Linda made connections here with classic ethnographic study, who does what, how. We discussed my possible choices for interview subjects where I am already having thoughts about how people choose to engage in the shed, and what previous skills, values and attitudes may have been brought with them from previous vocational experiences.
• Linda suggested I record more of my thoughts and observations about the work place politics of the bloke shed. Given that this is not a paid workplace and contributions and membership are voluntary.
