Via Zoom, at approximately 4:03 PM EST, Professor Mark Roughley called to order PGR Gina Dominique's Introductory Supervisory Committee meeting.
Beginning with Professor Roughley, then Professors Ferrell and Gallo, each committee advisor introduced themselves and spoke briefly about their academic work, as well as their professional practices. And I introduced myself, briefly discussing my proposed PhD project. Through zoom's chat feature, I shared with committee members a url/link to my website,
www.ginadominique.com
I discussed my required PhD Process blog and its contents. I stated that I post a "unique" image distinguishes to begin each unique post. For my own records, and my Advisors assistance, I am making
-Monthly studio practice entries
-Monthly research logs/lecture note entries
-Monthly Transart intensive required Reading Log entries.
Next Mark Roughley reviewed the
www.ljmu.ak.uk site, focusing on where to find:
1. "Quicklinks"
2. "Canvas" features...Professor Roughley demonstrated some, making note that we are each required to enroll in and complete the Ethics Module.
3. "eDoc" features; "Doctoral Academy", "Project Approval", and "Project Dates"...
(Professor Roughley explained that each of the four of us will document each committee meeting that we attend. There are to be 10 total meetings annually, at least during my first year. And that we are on a 10-month academic calendar. (August is TT break, mid-December thru mid-Jan is LJMU break month). He re-stated that each member attending each meeting, regardless of how many of us are in attendance...2, 3 or all 4, are to document meetings attended.)
4. "LJMU email"- Activate this account immediately, and check it weekly.
We all discussed that only Professor Roughley attended the live mandatory LJMU Induction Ceremony this past week.
Because the other three of us received an email notification with zoom link post-facto.
Once we do receive the recorded version via email and link, we agreed to watch it and document that we did so. (Professor Roughley noted that it contains more in-depth ljmu.ak.uk app instructions.)
Just prior to adjournment, we four agreed the next Advisory Committee meeting will take place at 4:00 PM, EST, Friday 12 November 2021.
