So, my 1000-word proposal draft was done on Sunday evening and I just put together my working bibliography. I expect that it will get culled when I'm assigned a supervisor. But it IS a working bibliography! It's also missing some secondary sources right now because I actually have some books on decolonization that I haven't looked through yet. I will tomorrow and then add to this list, and have it printed by Thursday and all will be hunky-dory.

So far I'm doing okay. Had my first class for South Asian Masculinities today which looks to be awesomest ever. Tomorrow is Queer and Trans Theory, which... apparently, Gender Studies grad classes started last week so I (and the other English students taking the class) missed the first class, but I did go see the prof who was very nice and I read Gender Trouble and I'm prepped for it! Tutorials are tomorrow too. Thursdays I have my CSCT core class, which looks neat (Sara Ahmed and Wendy Brown are coming here to lead seminars! I may not like Wendy Brown but still), and the prof is also getting us to get involved in activism of some sort for 10%.

Anyways.

Yeah, that's part of my problem, much of it being that I don't know a lot of writers. I added Cesaire today, actually, and I considered adding Fanon. I only get 50 pages for this project, so I don't know yet how much I should be reading.

Enough that it's useful to you over the course of your career-- in grad school, it's about breadth and depth, vs in college when it's just depth.
