Blowtorch on

4 hours writing, page count = 173

Well, that was satisfying. I took a blowtorch to Chapter 1 and removed parts that just weren't working in their current form, principally the lit review sections. I need to go through those section and rewrite them in terms of debates that are going on in the field, rather than going through a laundry list of relevant concepts from which I pick and choose. It's slow going, but I continue to improve this pivotal chapter.

Thanks to this week's monitor, Marco Mojica! Next up after the long weekend is Diana Kapiszewski in Oakland (and soon Irvine!).
