Exploring the landscape

The scene I behold each afternoon I walk home

I’ve been reading long-overdue “seminal” articles since yesterday.  It’s a good way to remember the things I’ve forgotten about this research, as well as a great opportunity to put things together, make connections, and synthesize. I’m basically exploring the landscape of epistemologies–that’s how I’d describe what I’ve been doing these days, and it’s funny how it seems to keep changing each time I visit.  Have I been away that long? 

Straining to see the ivory tower

What's atop the ivory tower?

Q:  When was the last time I blogged?

A:  The previous post says:  01 November 2009. That’s over a month ago.

Q:  When was the last time I thought about my research?

A:  I don’t remember.

Well, except for the past two days.   After my meeting here in Hong Kong, I took TWO DAYS off just to read up on articles that I’ve accumulated but haven’t read.  I went to cafes, bars–name it, I’ve been there–just to get myself up and about, and get me to read “stuff.”
