Comprehensive Exams: BDS 7-19-13

Pre-writing: Making connections between lists of texts by looking at others' lists and finding the overlaps in my list and then seeing which of my works could support/augment/supplement/etc those works to bring a transnational reading to RhetComp:

I noticed the lists online are mostly from European universities. I wonder what this says about the state of academics in America?

Comfort Check: Accidentally did the Macarena (while stretching my arms and back).

Finding many connections between food and transnationalism, but that's not exactly what I'm after. I wonder why more scholars are not interested in the way these two streams run together?

Next session I shall be more conscious of connecting the works I see on the web with my own and interjecting my own opinions/thoughts/ideas/ reactions therein.
