+ [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)
