+ [Older draft (2019-2020)](draft-2020)
# meta - moving forward in this project
+ formulate theoretical motivations
+ idea-spurting, coagulation of these new ideas, and producing reading lists based on these.
+ time-intensive reading. readings -> motivation -> readings.
+ converses with analysis, in that impractical ideas are not explored too deeply.
+ converses with "conclusions" in that stuff that is known or not "interesting" / placable shouldn't be pursued.
+ produces some specific steps for analysis.
+ analytical moves
+ building analytical skills
+ when theoretically desirable next steps involve skills I don't have...
+ identify the skill, and work towards acquiring that skill, and applying it to these problems
+ based on (some selection of) theoretical drafts. rank these by practicality / interest & pursue.
+ data, algorithms, visualization.
+ produces datasheets describing the dataset and cleaned/annotated code.
+ formulating conclusions
+ use datasheets output from analysis to isolate results of interest
+ scour the literature to place & understand the finding
+ produces a final write-up
# theoretical threads / questions
+ tracing symbolic boundaries in sociological discourse
+ restricted to theory sections?
+ see the [older draft](draft-2020) at the top
+ tracing consensus in sociological terminology ([bstrm](brainstorm))
+ what do the words mean?
+ how is that changing / disagreed on?
+ look for polysemy, and its' collapsing
+ (related) look for direct contradictions, disagreements; map these
+ tracing conversations over time, and the authors that participate in them [here](http://wiki.alecmcgail.com/journal-analysis/brainstorm#how-long-do-conversations-go-on)
