- For site visits, do you have particular sites in mind? And whatever happen to the transnational component (as part of a comparative project) that seemed part of previous project ideas?

- Stakeholders always seem to be present in your description and framing of projects. What does this say about your loyalties, or as Haraway would say, the way you’re choosing to “cast your lot”?

-Social movements, another thing perpetually present in your research interests. Why? Was it about social movements? Dig deep on that one. Or articulate that depth that’s already present in your mind.

- Why are you articulating bioplastics horizontally and vertically?

- I’d like to see you expand on topical areas. I’d like to see two more topical areas, ones that maybe you haven’t really researched at all. You should really use your storytelling gifts more. That’s my suggestion to you.

- You hate plastics and consumption. What do you love instead?

- Sean, perhaps you should check out Eat Right For Your Blood Type. I’ve found it incredibly… life changing.

- Keep in mind that all social interaction is, to some degree, a performance. What does this mean for smartness and idiocy?

- What is it about conclusion-writing that gets you down? What’s the difference between a conclusion and an introduction? What are the similarities?

- Stop thinking about future jobs. Focus on right now and the one you have at hand. Ask yourself if anything in life has worked out exactly as you intended/planned/worried about/dreamt?

- Why don’t you intend to use ethnography? You’re so social and easy to talk to! Combined with a love of listening, wouldn’t that make for good ethnography?

- Why is the football, basketball thing under talents? What made you a good player? And if you no longer play, what are current talents that relate back to that? What makes that bygone talent useful today?
