Continued working on the La Violencia chapter today. I was consulting a source, and realized that I had first obtained it in 1994 on my first research trip to Colombia as an undergrad. All this time later, and I'm still figuring out that seminal period in the country's history. Talk about coming full circle!
I'll continue posting through the weekend. Thanks to Julie Vogt for sticking with me as monitor through the homestretch!
From June 2007 to June 2008, I posted each weekday regarding progress on my dissertation. This blog was called "It Takes a Village to Write a Dissertation."
On August 15, 2008, I filed my dissertation, completing all the requirements for my Ph.D in Political Science from UC Berkeley. Friends and family, thank you for keeping me honest. Mission accomplished!

Hi Chris!
Greetings from icy Wisconsin. How did the writing go today? I really liked your post yesterday. The threshold you're approaching is not just the labor of the last few months, or weeks, or days. The seeds of interest were planted years ago, you're just enjoying the harvest!
