I ran into some difficulties in my PhD work at the end of 2021. For various reasons I was not able to present my work, and my transfer from MPhil to PhD was postponed. I have done a first ethnographic study in my PhD work (more about that in later posts) and I am now starting a second study, dealing with public material. So I thought I might develop the study in public.

I do not know if this is a good idea, I have not really consulted anyone. I have wanted to set up a blog for a while and now I had a reason and purpose. I also attribute some of the difficulties and stress at the end of 2021 to working in isolation. By continually publishing work I get to focus on something I want to learn to do better; writing and communicating.

I am not sure how strictly I will keep to my PhD work in this blog. I might also cover my current engagements in dishwasher repairs, wood treatments and parenting by way of bike repairs. Maybe some day I will try to promote this blog and then maybe you will read it. If you do, please feel free to suggest a topic.
