Talk:Issues in Interdisciplinarity 2020-21/Truth in "The Crown"

Notes from Meetings
20/11/20, 1st Zoom Meeting: Eagle1020 had the idea to look at Truth in ‘The Crown’

odysseyofrose had the idea to discuss the Episode on the Mining Disaster in Wales- Season 3 “Aberfan”

Discussed Disciplines to potentially cover: History (Historical Accuracy) Cinematic/Film Studies (structure of a plot, props and foreshadowing) Politics (monarchy and government relationship with each other and public, anti-monarchy) Physics/Geology (mining accident)

Collectively decided discuss controversy in media (check newspapers, the guardian etc) and historians, debate on implications made, effects on the success on the integrity of the program

30/11/20: Eagle1020 created an outline for the chapter and made bullet points with key definitions, such as the different approaches to Truth. Eagle1020 wrote a short paragraph, outlining the different approaches to Truth that are present in "The Crown". Sugarfreejazz1 made a draft of the introduction and Eagle 1020 edited it.

09/12/20 2nd Zoom Meeting: We collectively discussed further the different approaches to truth we wanted to cover and how we were going to cover them in each section. Decided to scrap the scientific approach and odysseyofrose and Sugarfreejazz1 were having difficulties in making sure our sections (History - odesseyofrose - and Politics - Sugarfreejazz1) didn't cover the same info. The two of us decided to combine our sections and cover the themes of the Community of Aberfan and the Duty of the Crown vs PM. Slight nod towards behavioural psychology here in these differing duties.

12/12/20: Sugarfreejazz1, with guidance from their mentor, realised that by only covering two disciplines, the chapter wasn't going to be interdisciplinary enough. Sugarfreejazz1 made a suggestion in our whatsapp group chat to change the structure with the new plan to have an introduction, History (and Politics but will all come under History) Section, Behavioural Psychology Section (in two parts), Economics Section, Film Section and then Evaluation/Conclusion. odysseyofrose is combining the History and Politics sections and is writing on the impact of the disaster on the people of Aberfan for the Behavioural Psychology section. Sugarfreejazz1 is writing the economics section and on the differing duties of the crown vs the prime minister also for the Behavioural Psychology section. Sugarfreejazz1 has moved parts of the introduction into the evaluation section. Eagle1020 was travelling today but they have further helped with structuring when they arrived home.

13/12/20: We are currently over the word count. To deal with this we have collectively decided to cut the Economics Section and one part of the Behavioural Psychology Section - on the impact of the disaster on the people of Aberfan.

To reiterate, the introduction and evaluation were written by Sugarfreejazz1 with the guidance and given outline by Eagle1020 and then edited by all. The Historical Approach Section was written by odysseyofrose, Film Studies Section by Eagle1020 and Behavioural Psychology Section by Sugarfreejazz1. Everything has been looked over and edited by all members. odysseyofrose added the photo.
