I opened up the manuscript document for a research study I completed a few years ago on program directors of recreational sport programs in urban areas. This manuscript has been on the back burner and is now 1 of the 2 things that I will be focusing on in the 30-day challenge. I familiarized myself by briefly reviewing the document to see what I had inserted (chunks of literature in intro, most of methodology, tables of results, chunks of literature for discussion). I then started a search of journals that might be suitable. I will then draft email to the 2 co-authors to touch base about writing and journal ideas and when they can expect a manuscript to review.
This morning I completed my reading/note taking of Matthews' work on Cold War nationalism, masculinity, and BBQ culture! A great article which will be really helpful moving forward. My favorite clip: 1950s BBQ culture "reveals an ontological not gastronomical phenomenon." I realize the challenge is only a M-F thing, but I'm going to try and stick with this over the weekend. I feel like (even in two days) I'm on a little bit of a roll and want to keep the momentum going :)
Today I wrote from approximately 10-1130. I did two things. First, I'm co-authoring an introduction to a special issue, and I re-read two of the articles and wrote summaries for the introductory framing (approx. one paragraph each). I then edited the abstract I wrote yesterday for a proposed article for a special issue on posthuman pedagogies, added references, and submitted to the guest editors.
Today I wrote from 2:30-4:00. I rewrite about half the theoretical framework of the study, so that felt good. Then I hammered away slowly at some of the literature review. It's always a process of making sense of what the heck all these people are saying and how the heck it pertains to what I'm trying to do!
I find the same thing Kathryn - seems so overwhelming at the front end. But then when you start to get your head around it (the literature) and situate your own stuff I find that my perspective goes from "damn, I'll never get a handle on this" to "whoa, so cool...I see where I'm going and I like it!"

ReplyDeleteSounds really interesting...next week you will have to tell me a little more about the ontology of 1950s BBQ culture. I'm intrigued.
DeleteI think we should have a BBQ to discuss this...
DeleteOh yea!!

ReplyDeleteNice job getting it done!
DeletePosthuman pedagogies...add that to the list - we'll discuss with the ontology of BBQ culture!
