Research update
06.12.2005Technorati tags: dissertation research
I love my little electric personal mini food chopper. How did I live so long w/o one?
I've also finally admitted that I'm not quite ready to start writing my dissertation yet. What I mean is, I can't sort through data while I write; it's too time consuming. Instead, I'm sorting through data first, and writing chapter drafts after. There's just too much unread literature on Bolivian nationalism to go through; every time I start writing a draft, I've to change it substantially to make room for new stuff. Besides, I think it's bad form to write first; it subconsciously encourages selective reading of references.
I'm also plodding along w/ my election period newspaper data. And I've updated my BoliviaWiki. Tons more stuff; tons more to come. Why am I doing this? TiddlyWiki lets me build a network of data, which I'm using to find relationships between political parties over time. If you jump around some of the links, you'll see what I mean.
