I wrote only about the progress of my fieldwork report for the past month, as if I had shut myself in my room all the time.
Since I submitted my report last weekend, I have seen many people: Luca’s mum, to celebrate her birthday; his friends, to see their new baby girl; and my colleagues, to catch up.
On Friday, my colleague and I went to a pub with a large garden, where we had a good chat about our research over beer and burgers and enjoyed the garden’s summertime atmosphere.
Chapter editing – Start again
I opened my draft of Chapter 2 for the first time in six months; it was surprising how little sense it made.
Eventually, I deleted some sections, reorganised the structure and started working on it again. Having now completed my fieldwork and the report, my perceptions of what is important in literature reviews and what is significant about a concept have become clearer. So, it is the right time to reorganise and edit the chapters I worked on previously.
Next week I will have a meeting with all three of my supervisors. There, I will make sure of my next steps (analytical framework, transcription and translation). I will also attend a conference the week after.
