Abstract

This paper extends upon Faff, Ali, et al. (2016), outlining a further fantasy research pitch exercise conducted in a PhD course at the University of Queensland. Using Faff’s (2015, 2016a) pitching research template, students attending the course engaged in a group exercise to pitch a “fantasy” research topic. While the final exercise was completed in a 90-minute timeframe (60 minutes of brainstorming, followed by 30 minutes of reporting back to the full group), the cohort had the prior benefit of 3 x 90 minute sessions of related material on the first day of a weekend PhD module. Four groups were formed and they pitched “pretend” topics relating to: (a) Star Wars; (b) Pokemon Go; (c) RD and (d) Uber. Herein, is the narrative of this exercise, made available for pedagogic sharing.
