Committing to words is difficult, dangerous, and terrifying. In my line of work, it’s necessary. I’m a researcher – a thinker – a thesis creator. I feel completely out of my depth.
I embarked on a PhD early in 2018, exploring and seeking mutual solutions for governance using Indigenous Knowledge (IK) systems and Indigenous-controlled protocols within the Blockchain. My research will explore the logical, structural or architectural synergies – or incompatibilities – between IK systems and Blockchain technologies, and the opportunities to embed IK approaches into second-wave automation.
Sounds exciting, right? Well, I can’t shake this anxiety – call it imposter syndrome, call it IDKWTF. I can’t seem to get a handle on what I’m doing, so I decided to start a blog.
A logical thing to do.
It’s an attempt to get grounded, and accountable. The public’s gaze will sear and shape me. Or, at least I hope so.
As I gain confidence, I’ll talk about who I am, what I learn, and as I talk about who I am, and what I learn, I’ll gain confidence. Nothing, I’m finding, is linear.
