So lately this word has been looming over me. People in seminars have been talking about what they're going to be doing, or asking lecturers to be their dissertation tutors and I've just been sat in silence, with inner screams going on in my mind.
Love and sex with robots
Stuff people have got stuck up their bums
Do chickens prefer good looking people?
The possibility of unicorns
Does country music cause suicides?
How does navigating change a taxi driver's brain?
So basically, from finding these few and many other weird dissertation topics I've discovered that I needn't worry about my topic, because you can do literally anything. But then again, I don't think I'm inventive enough to do anything this weird, and often weird is what catches the attention of those poor lecturers who have to read stacks of 10,000 word dissertations.
Back to the drawing board I go...
What would you do a dissertation on?

I'm doing mine on fairytales and their adaptations into modern cinema. I've no idea what my question is going to be exactly though

That sounds so good! Plenty of time to get the question sorted, the idea sounds so interesting! :)
DeleteI work at a university. After seeing so many weather topics, mine would have to be Why do meteorologists want to study weather? Hard hitting stuff I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteHaha well that would definitely be interesting!
DeleteI wrote my dissertation about myself! It saved time on having to research!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to know how you did that (if that statement makes sense) but I wouldn't know where to start!
DeleteI was lucky in that both of my dissertation project titles were chosen for me! Good luck with writing yours - the immense relief and pride you have when you hand it in is worth it - I promise!
