Hopefully, this will be the beginning of a series of daily memos. The objective is that I express and record my intended work for that day.
I am, I admit, on one hand, prone to large reading bouts. While on the other, I am somehow perpetually on the cusp of a new and significant analytical avenue. So, in order to navigate between the Scylla and Charybdis of my own work-life and ethic, this memo chain shall be a means of breaking down daily reading load, accounting for analytical reasons I am reading them in the first place. The insights gleamed upon completing the readings, shall be added (hopefully within the same day) through annotations/comments.
Without further ado :
1. Newbigin, Eleanor. The Hindu family and the emergence of modern India: law, citizenship, and community. Vol. 22. Cambridge University Press, 2013. (INTRODUCTION ONLY) -
Given that my object of focus is "the Indian family" and its interaction and incorporation within communicative infrastructures particularly with regard to science, the notion "modern India" seems conceptually rich for consideration. In reading the introduction, I am not so much studying the book, as much as I am seeing what the book offers. I hope the book provides pertinent historical ques for my research.
2. Glik, Deborah C. "Risk communication for public health emergencies." Annu. Rev. Public Health 28 (2007): 33-54. (NOTE TAKING)
The notion of science communication is ultimately couched in within the context of risk, thus referring to the Annu.Rev. will ideal in accounting for the current shape of the context.
