Day 3
I feel like I am just now settling into the mindset of writing with the focus away from my public school teaching job to allow it. My goal today is first, to not check my email and allow for this focused mindset to start to become a reality. I am pretty confident I have adult onset attention deficit disorder. Perhaps as a by product of my lifestyle. So. Being with that this morning.
Writing goals:
1. Work through the discussion section of the String Research Journal article that has been accepted for publication with revisions.
2. Locate (!) my dissertation proposal with track changes from advisor.
3. Enjoy the literature review search for very new research around my topic- which is essentially the nexus of cultural relevance, creativity, and the skill set that allows for a lifetime in music (in and outside of the academy).
I love the verb "Enjoy" to start your third goal :)
ReplyDeleteI don't want to interrupt you, so I am not emailing or messaging you this...you can look at it after your writing today (or never if it doesn't interest you). Here is the call for proposals I mentioned: https://cccc.ncte.org/cccc/call-2023
This is the bit that really struck me:
let’s admit that the tyranny of western argument over our field and the attachment of “personal,” like an epithet-filled ball and chain, to narrative are not serving well our students, ourselves, or the public and political discourses our teaching helps to shape. Let’s bust some binaries . . . between self and other and us and them on one hand and between genre and method and argument and narrative on the other. The known has failed us. So, I am inviting you to do hope at the outside edges of our knowns.
seconding Tamar--enjoying the work is the piece that I think we actually tend to forget or dismiss as less important in our studies. great to see you focusing on it for yourself!
