[Linganth] page 99 test for recent Phd dissertations

[Ilana Gershon]

Dear Colleagues,
I am writing because the season of dissertation defenses is approaching.
At CaMP anthropology, we want to create a historical record of the 
dissertations produced in our intellectual community
in a playful way.   So we ask recent Phds to take the page 99 test with 
their dissertation.

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.

If you defended your dissertation in the past two years, and especially 
if you are about to defend,
  please consider writing a blogpost for CaMP anthropology about your 
page 99.   If you have students
  who have recently defended or will soon, please encourage them to do this.

Previous examples can be found here:

Thank you,
Ilana
