This is an old post and is probably extremely cringe. Please understand that I have moved on from these ideas. Still, it may contain some nuggets that point to some continuity in my thinking over the years, which is why I decided to post it here.

This semester I’m taking a graduate course called The Anthropology of Space, Place and Landscape, which has a heavy emphasis on social theory. Hopefully this course will help me to ground myself within social theory vis-a-vis geo-spatial archaeology, and help me figure out how to better involve these ideas in my own work. I already have an idea to work with for the research paper, which will focus on a certain area covered in my M.A. thesis, and hopefully will also be publishable.

This is my second course taught by Dr. Roddick, and like with Writing the Field, it involves a blogging component. This is meant to prompt critical reflection on the readings and keep us on our toes between classes. My first piece will written this week, so stay tuned…
