I have a joint appointment in Sociology and American Studies.<br /><br />I have two long-term projects at present: 1) a manuscript on deportees and 2) a text on race and racism. <br /><br />This week, I have three goals:<br />1) Finish a solid draft of Chapter Two of the deportee manuscript.<br />2) Finalize Tanya Golash-Bozahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14299920277816825958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1055932257464975902.post-42992809758550847432011-03-08T23:52:10.899-06:002011-03-08T23:52:10.899-06:00I'm a medievalist in an English department, at...I'm a medievalist in an English department, at associate level. Very broadly speaking, I work on medieval romances and their manuscripts. <br /><br />For the past year or so, I have been trying to clear a backlog of half-written articles so that I can then work full-time on a book that has been back-burnered for awhile. I've finished and sent out two things in the last 6 months.
