With a few days left until the midterm review, remember to be thorough, precise as well as curious,
skeptical and
playful in researching your themes and presenting your findings. Look for oblique, interesting,
overlooked
and beautiful aspects that could and should be lifted from the material. And where appropriate, do not forget to make use of
the analog/digital tools introduced throughout the third year.

The ability of Malcolm Gladwell to "mine current academic research for
insights, theories, direction, or inspiration." as exemplified in his
multiple articles and books may be of inspiration. As might be the work
of Jared Diamond, in particular his book Guns, Germs and Steel.
A schedule for the midterm review will follow shortly.
