Talk:Issues in Interdisciplinarity 2019-20/Truth in the Ted Bundy Case

Meeting on 15/Nov/19
Ebani and Joy are present - Jorge is unfortunately not in town at the moment, but we have discussed the topic before.

Brainstorming topic ideas:
Truth in Media Coverage of Ted Bundy Case

Gilet Jaunes movement and - link to HK protests (power)

Psychological Research being too white, eurocentric focused. Discriminating against blacks

Cultural Appropriation (Power) do we even actually understand it?v - Example yoga, costumes, “exoticism”, cornrows... - It is when marginalized people are mocked, berated, targeted, demeaned, and physically assaulted for displays of their own culture—while the majority of people are free to use and consume the same culture. - https://medium.com/@luces.sdma/cultural-appropriation-power-dynamics-in-practice-70065e970113 - “Power dynamics in Cultural Appropriation”

Truth changing due to technological advancements

We decided on the Truth in Media Coverage of Ted Bundy case.
Went through the web for some articles to skim read. - https://www.oxygen.com/martinis-murder/ted-bundy-used-by-police-authorities-publicity-why-trial-televised - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-47474996 - https://groovyhistory.com/televised-trial-serial-killer-ted-bundy - https://www.vox.com/culture/2019/5/3/18212473/ted-bundy-movie-documentary-true-crime-podcasts - http://nomosjournal.org/columns/screening-belief/evil-and-celebrity-framing-the-ted-bundy-story/ - https://www.theringer.com/tv/2019/1/29/18201482/netflix-conversations-with-a-killer-ted-bundy-tapes-true-crime-documentary

Notes were added on the page for our chapter We need to watch the Ted Bundy documentary and the movie too

Meeting on 22/Nov/19 during ATK seminar
We further discussed the structure of the Wikibook on the shared google doc and brainstormed issues of different disciplines where this could be applied. Here are our notes for the day:

How does the issue play out at a disciplinary level - not just at the case study level

So for us, we are focusing on a case study, but we can use psychological studies etc to prove our points.

How truth is viewed differently in law, journalism, etc

For example, the televised trial is a form of truth but is twisted by the discipline of journalism by making it “scandalous” and portraying Ted Bundy in a specific light

Also how our perception of his truth has been modified in the present day (now movie)

Potential Structure of the Wikibook
Introduction

Who Ted Bundy is and what he did

What the case was Outcomes of the case How journalism had portrayed the truth in his story How law views the truth How media/filmmaking edits the truth How Ted Bundy as a person manipulated the truth

Meeting on 23/Nov/19
all of us met in the student centre

Looking at official Wikipedia pages of notable trials (I guess it’s the most similar thing to what we’re doing) we can kind of replicate that structure:

Introduction (like the first paragraph we see) should include…...] Background (not too long) Who Ted Bundy was What he did What the case was about Outcomes of case How it was huge tabloid-esque event Introduce / define truth Law + Truth: his trial and the evidence to support how he was guilty Journalism + Truth Film + Truth (contemporary look on the case) Watch the Netflix documentary Watch the Zac Efron movie Charisma (himself) + Truth Criminology + Truth Conclusion Conflicts in truth: journalism portrayed a different view of Ted Bundy in contrast to law, and influenced the trial and public perception of truth All our edits are viewable on the common google docs wikibook page ( https://docs.google.com/document/d/17iSMKeFnJ5revIfSXVpXuPODOFFBFqQNFLXp5XjoZI8/edit?usp=sharing ) The link for our notes and discussions (similar to the wikibook discussion page is https://docs.google.com/document/d/1R1QeSVPXgEvCXKNlSrx0KIlCqdi8QJuPLzYOJ1jtDYg/edit?usp=sharing

Today we have started to write the text and sub-headings of the project, relating the case to truth in each discipline. Another task to add would be to find images to make the page more visually appealing.

Meeting Nov 27 2019 All of us met up in the Common room to discuss our edits and work so far. Jorge, Ebani and Joy were all present. As a group, we read each section and reviewed language, content and structure. Referencing was discussed, and we have decided to each reference a section in the wikibook itself. We have also found images to illustrate our article to make it more visually appealing

Dec 1 2019 We have each added a section from the google doc onto the wikibook, and put in references. We also added in the images and citations for them. We will continue to edit the text to respect the word limit. Joyx19 (discuss • contribs) 19:50, 1 December 2019 (UTC)

Dec 4 2019 We have gone over the wikibooks for the final time. All of us are present and we have refined the final version by cuttign down the word count and making the vocabulary more concise and coherent. We are comfortably under the wordcount and pleased with our work. The latest edits are noit on google docs as we changed the wikibook directly. However, most of the content is the same.

Dec 6 2019 During the ATK seminar, Joy and Ebani are present, Jorge is unfortunately ill. We are reviewing the latest version of the wikibook and adding a few final changes to emphasize truth in each discipline.
