I'm going to try a little motivational experiment here by writing about my progress on the dissertation. I don't know how frequently I'll be doing this but I hope at least weekly.
Right now my topic, broadly, is the question of cultural capital in an era of digital literacy. How are ecologies of reading and writing evolving online and what does that mean for authorial fame and fortune? I have many more ideas but I'll save them for future posts (and more mulling).
The reason I'm writing now is to share the geeky thrill I felt when I picked up a stack of books from the ASU library today. It's been a bit of a struggle getting access and requesting books from a new institution where I have no official status, and it's a relief to know that I can still track down the books I need.
I'll put texts up in LibraryThing as I tackle them. Time to get reading!
