Major Project Progress

Met with both Mrs Russo and, later, Mr Carragher today. The main points from these meetings were:

  1. I'm actually on the right track with my conclusion! Yay. I've got to summarise my arguments by explaining the insight each argument has provided me and then I go onto my "broader theme" which links to the Q. This should be doable - which is quite an improvement from last time we met.
  2. Now, the question! After talking with Sir, I can now see the benefits of a precise, accurate, well-worded question - It gives me something to answer. Generally, that's a good quality for an essay to have! That completely explains why I've had so much trouble with my intro and conclusion - it's hard to relate to a question which remains non-existant. So, I've been working on this and have come up with:  Examine how the intent of sixties drug-users has been debated in historical works and demonstrate how this has obscured the historical legacy of the psychedelic experience. Before you judge, I know it's not yet perfect but it's a huge improvement from "How has the historiography of the psychedelic experience developed since the 1960s?" So, I'm quite content! :)
  3. I need to have my synopsis, annotated bibliography, bibliography, blogs and footnoting completed and polished ASAP. Off to work!!
