30 Monday April: Updated footnotes for Viv’s forthcoming
publication and sent update to Viv. Ordered books. Updated blogs. Asked Viv
about ‘Mediascapes’ access.
01 Tuesday May: Viv emailed a recommendation that I
ask Ross about ‘Mediascapes’. I emailed to Ross, who recommended both the
geography department and Bob. I emailed Bob first, who responded with
directions for how to access that application. Paid bills, ran errands. Re-read
Ingold’s ideas about objects and agency.
02 Wednesday May: Placed all readings I intend to
use of APG into the same file, researched for library texts needed, requested
holds be placed on resources, made travel arrangements for London conservation
training sessions. There is a film related to my work that I’m having trouble
tracking down—will have to find out if our library can somehow obtain/borrow
it. Mom’s birthday, day one.
03 Thursday May: Sorting
belongings; discovered old but useful resources in the process. Wrote thank you
notes. Mom’s birthday, day two.
04 Friday May: Returned to consideration of ‘agency’. Though
there is not directly applicable literature to my heuristic process, the
question of ‘agency’ is at the heart of my research therefore, I will make a
more thorough explication of that in my work.
05/06 May: Caught up on social media—which in many cases is
a very important current resource in ‘research support’ . . . but not really in
the case of this past weekend. Was quite important for general peace of mind
and well-being so . . . okay, can be viewed, if not as direct ‘research
support’, as at least ‘researcher support’. :)
