  • f the Uo team chalked a Judgement Matrix on the tarmac at the top of the hill.

It began with three axes: fear, speed and shopping. Participants were asked to self-assess their fear factor, speed was assessed by a timer, and your shopping axis was marked according to how much shopping you still had in your basket

  • nce you reached the bottom of the hill (if you reached the bottom of the

hill). Kayle crashed onto her broken arm, we added the pain axis, Lottie went down the hill in her manolo blahnik heels, we added the style axis. The pain / speed axis developed a kind of three dimensional grid to accommodate objections to the timer's judgements.. you get the picture. Other events were judged entirely differently, but this does propose some starting points for ways of making meaning, ways of trying keep ideas and criteria supple, to allow us get a fix on values, our own affective, political, ethical involvement with the areas of our research and our relationships.
