It was very interesting as I'd been admitted to 4 different PhD programmes and didn't have to go through this process at Auckland Uni, AUT (North campus) or Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi (Whakatane).
It was a very good process, however, as he also proposes to complete a Creative PhD with Film as his practice in his village of Siumu in Samoa.
It takes a lot of bravery (and money) to do it the way that he is proposing, having already completed my doctoral fieldwork in Samoa. However, it is his journey and it will be interesting to see how it pans out with so many critical factors to take into account.
I wish him well in his endeavours and now at the end of my journey, I would say that it was worth the late nights and considerations. It was also so good to have my parents' support and my children's as their love and support was so appreciated during the journey...
