I haven’t done a Friday update in the past two weeks as I have been working hard (for the past three weeks) on my summer fellowship with The Futures Initiative. I have been creating a draft of an annual report, working on website and print graphics, and made big strides in establishing a visual identity for the organization. It has been an intense three weeks of working but for the two months, more or less, I am wholly focused on my second comprehensive exams. The Friday updates for the next two months or so, thus, will most likely focus on my reading strides, reflections on what that process is like for me, and potentially even some attempts by me to synthesize the material I am covering.
