The proposal was a 10-page, detailed description of the research that I plan to do for the next four years here in Troms\u00f8, which I prepared together with my supervisors. Now I can (safely) continue with my research and sign up for PhD courses. Although it won&#8217;t exactly be smooth sailing from here, I&#8217;m quite relieved and happy about this progress.<\/p>\n<p>So this is a day to celebrate! It feels totally the opposite of yesterday, when I was in doubt of everything I&#8217;ve done up to this point. (See my previous post.) I knew when I started that doing a PhD would be a roller-coaster, but that it could change from down to up <em>so quickly<\/em>,\u00a0 is truly amazing.<\/p>\n<p>I had a short meeting with two of my (wonderful) supervisors today, Tove and Torstein. After &#8220;celebrating&#8221; the accepted proposal we discussed our progress with pilot surveys (Tove&#8217;s interest questions and my IL questions), and the next steps I have to take:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>notifying <a href=\"https:\/\/nsd.no\/personvernombud\/en\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NSD<\/a> about my research (which has to be done because it will contain personal data)<\/li>\n<li>recruiting students for the pilot survey and for a think-aloud protocol<\/li>\n<li>informing the vice deans of education about my research<\/li>\n<li>finding IL experts to evaluate my survey in terms of content validity<\/li>\n<li>preregistering my research<\/li>\n<li>signing up for courses, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>No twiddling thumbs around here! But at least I feel today like I&#8217;m moving forwards, and not backwards. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Otherwise &#8211; last night was the kick-off meeting of the committee organizing the next <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nordinfolit.info\/creating-knowledge\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Creating Knowledge Conference<\/a>, of which I&#8217;m a member. It looks like the conference, which will be in Troms\u00f8, will take place on June 4-5, 2020, which is like having a huge party (+ a ton of responsibility) for my 60th (on the 4th)!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I started this blog the day I sent my research proposal, and today I found out that my proposal was accepted!
