Project Realization
I am very motivated and keen on realizing this project through the use of all necessary technical skills i have acquired over the years. Also, this is part of my MA project and it is important that i manage to achieve the desired goal.
Tutors, Collegues and Friends of the Piet Zwart Institute for Post-Graduate Studies and Research are also a major backbone to this project. In case i reach a deadlock or need some expert support, they are readily available to support and offer all the needed help.
Advisors: Because of my previous and on-going employments, i have access to reliable academic and scholarly support to advise and oversee the core of this project. These include Professor Irene K. Odotei -Historian, Professor Emmanuel Akyeampong - (FGA) Historian, Professor Ato Quayson - Literary Studies and Professor Kodjo Senah - Sociologist.
The PLAN
Month Title Description Month 1 Assemble and Categorize Data Based on the categories, assemble all data including documents, urls, photos, illustrations, books, publications, references and scholars whose work are relevant to the categories. Month 2 Data Mind-Mapping and Visualization Create and allocate how each element is connected to another through mind-maps. The next step is to visualize the data through web 2.0 tools, java applets and some hand-coding. Month 3 Fluid Interaction and Coding This period is to test how each element truly reflects on another by allowing advisors, visual anthropologists and Ghanaian historians to try it out and offer critique. Month 4 Reviewing and Launching Finally all possible corrections, additions, suggestions and other touch-ups will be made and launched through advertisement on key Academic search engines and databases.
