Committees, Chairs...

Have any of you had further meetings or communications with committee members concerning your progress on the thesis? Do remember to keep in touch with me if anybody involved in your project expresses concerns or proposes new directions for your writing, so that I can keep my feedback relevant to your current process.

You should be submitting your excerpts to all of your colleagues for peer editing by tonight, 8-12pp, tomorrow morning at the very latest, to give everybody the time they need to read your work properly and comment on it helpfully. I'll begin class by reminding you what is happening the next four weeks, so that you can have a better sense where you stand in the process. Hope everybody had a good weekend, d

Remember: Thursday Presenters Need to Distribute Excerpts By, Like, NOW

I think pasting this into "Send to" should reach everybody. Is there anybody this misses? Let me know!

bori.kim@gmail.com, charlottemiller86@gmail.com, dalec@berkeley.edu, darinallenbauer@yahoo.com, marly.hammer@gmail.com, edippo@artists.sfai.edu, clauschidlow@gmail.com, AMBswede@gmail.com, cartyml@yahoo.com, mefoyer@gmail.com, insoumis31@gmail.com, gertiesalice@gmail.com, fridacano@gmail.com, meredithleigh.carty@gmail.com

It's crucial that folks have enough time to read and thoughtfully comment on the material you are presenting, else this is a futile exercise. Get on it.

Recall, this is just an 8-12 pp. excerpt focused on the description, contextualization, and analysis of an object, probably the one with which you feel comfortable and familiar already. (I note also that there is an open slot for presentations this Thursday, and possibly there is also a person who has not yet volunteered to present? Nudge? Nudge?)

Comments

If any of you happen to generate summarizing comments that you end up sending directly to your colleagues electronically -- say, in addition to the annotations you provide on the papers themselves -- be sure to post those general comments here on a blog to ensure everybody has the benefit of them (either before or after seminar, it doesn't matter really). We will discuss our observations of and suggestions for your excerpts around the seminar table in the workshop -- but sometimes general impressions get overlooked, or we run out of time, or the conversation drifts to a different focus from yours, and useful ideas are missed that might be continued grist for the mill here online.

Meetings This Week

We're nearly full up for next week's meetings, but there are still open times for this week. Please remember, if you are meeting with me this week I need to read the draft of your proposal before we get together, the sooner the better, so I can have time to get a clearer sense of your project and your process and determine what our next steps together should be. Take a look at the copy of Krista's letter from the Spring for guidance.

Invitations to the Blog

Hello, cohort! It was great meeting everybody last night.

I've invited eleven folks to the blog, and I have one more once I've confirmed the e-mail address. That seems right, but I easily could have made a mistake -- if I have invited you but you have actually migrated into Ella's section, can you e-mail me or leave a comment under this post? Of course, if you haven't been invited, let me know -- it probably means I mis-typed your e-mail address or something like that.

By the way, I realize the name of the blog, "Theses Pieces," is insipid beyond words. You just have to go with it.

Sign-up for individual meetings are first-come first-served, I'll be getting back to you all concerning open questions from our meeting yesterday. Stay tuned.
