WishList+EF+2

WISHLIST REDUX

So I decided to do my second WishList in the style that Karin took on. I may add some short term/long term goals beyond as well

** WISH LIST CURRENT PROJECT ** Further develop skills in circuitry, arduino, and inquiry-based learning. More in terms of STS, develop methodological expertise (which methods do I want?) || __Expertise__: As my short-term reflects, garner expertise in many different areas. Pinpoint areas that expertise will be relevant or necessary for my project || Work on writing more succinctly and meaningfully. More concrete examples to fill in my theoretical/conceptual ideas. || __Writing:__ How could I write this whole project out? Work on a mock proposal (from all these MEMOs to delineate my project. || Figure out my exact methods and narrow in on field sites for research || __Research__: Contribute new research methods || Make time to eat well, be healthy in mind/body -- make realistic goals || __Schedule__: Keep schedule consistent for getting the project work done -- allot enough time for reflection || Work on getting Technological Citizenship paper up to publishing standards. Develop theory more. || __Publications:__ Seek out calls for papers or particular publications that are apropos to my work ||

** WISH LIST GENERAL **
 * ** SHORT TERM ** || ** LONG TERM ** ||
 * __Expertise:__

Narrow in on the STS expertise that I want, such as History or Philsophy or Sociology or Antrhopology, or Political Science, etc etc. || __Expertise__:

Work on creating more ground for interdisciplinary expertise, not only within STS but otherwise among other fields ||
 * __Writing:__

Start up a blog, particular to STS and my particular scholarly interests Also start up a blog that involve my peripheral interests (experimental telepresence, sound art, transmission arts, pierogi making, what-have-you) || __Writing:__

Develop my own style of writing that is noticeable and specific to me as a writer, whether it be conceptually or through particular tropes or examples. Write every day, even if it is just as an exercise ||
 * __Research__:

Continue to pursue research in critical-making, participatory design practices and implications for civic science and public engagement with science. Where are all of these practices popping up? Continue to canvas events/websites/articles/books about these practices. || __Research__:

What do I want my main, academic focus for research to be? What communities do I find myself as part of, or how do I want be part of many different academic communities, making research contributions in varying degrees of interdisciplinarity? ||
 * __Course Schedule:__

Figure out requirements and where I should be for classes -- make my official "plan of study." What is my schedule for the spring/summer and how will it contribute to my research? || __Schedule__:

Think more about long-term personal goals and how those will align with professional goals. ||
 * __Departmental Organization:__

Continue to help with setting up symposiums. Figure other ways to contribute to the department -- Spring Conference. Contribute more to Wiki? || __Job Market:__

What departments in what schools will align with my research and in which I can contribute to their current dynamics, as well garner help from their dynamics and resources --- outside of academia, where do I fit? ||
 * __Qualifying Exams:__

Look further into when this will happen for me as an MS-PhD student -- start to rewrite, and consider my current work that would contribute to my portfolio || __Future Professional Evaluations:__

Hmm, actually not sure about this one. Need to consider how I fit into the world of peer review, etc. Also thinking toward How this system can be reconfigured in an inter-disciplinary way. ||
