[Linganth] recent Phd defenses?

[Ilana Gershon]

Dear Colleagues,
If you have graduate students who defended this past semester, or if you 
are someone
who has defended this past semester, please consider taking the page 99 
test for your
dissertation for the CaMP anthropology blog.

Examples here: https://campanthropology.org/page-99-dissertations/

Instructions below.  Send me the discussion at: igershon at indiana.edu

This is a lighthearted way to let our intellectual communities know 
about the most
recent doctoral work that has just been completed.  We are also starting 
to get a historical
sense of how the field is evolving since we now have dissertations from 
2012 onwards.

Please circulate if you need quick procrastination from grading,
Ilana

Instructions:

The "test" is simple: Is Ford Madox Ford's statement "Open the book to page
  ninety-nine and read, and the quality of the whole will be revealed to 
you," accurate
  for the dissertation? To answer, the author will have to say 
  something (1) about the
page and (2) about the dissertation.

The fact is, p 99 may well *not*be representative of the dissertation, 
but the
  answer gives you an opportunity to say something about what your 
dissertation
really is about and how that page fits in or ... whatever you like.

  If you are interested, please allow yourself no more than 400 words 
(and 300 would
  probably be better); that limit does not include however much of pg 99 
you'd like to
  quote--you may quote most of it, or little or none of it.
