First, last week (9/27) was welcome Catherine Sylvia into our family. This of course is making school even more challenging as time seems to be non-existent. Luckily, I have taken some time off work which is helping me take care of the first couple papers for school.
Trying to balance to tactical reading, understand the theorists, contribute to the conversations, and still focused on larger papers is a real challenge. I know that's part of the strain of such a program, and why most people do it before they have a job and kids.
The first paper I'm doing is a critical analysis of Daniel Bell's Post-Industrial Society. I enjoyed a lot of his book, but certainly found a few areas that seem ripe for criticism. Specifically his thinking that scientific thinking would permeate society. I'm almost done with my primary writing and by tomorrow will hopefully be in full edit phase.
I still need to learn a better way to write. My current method of research is going to have trouble scaling to the size of the larger papers.
That's it for now. I'll post again when my paper is done.
