| Re: Dissertations I find that checking footnotes and bibliographies of relevant books/articles is pretty useful when you're trying to find your way around a topic and you're not sure which titles are prominent in that field or relevant to your research. |

I'm doing sociology and mine is about youth culture and death metal/extreme music. I'm still narrowing it down, should get a proper title sorted by next week. | I thought you were doing it on sex workers? Or was that something else?
I loved writing my dissertation. It was on a pure bullshit kid on topic, but it meant I got to watch a lot of porn, good times. |

| Re: Dissertations Argh, I don't know what the fuck I'm doing for mine. I know what I want to do, but I don't know how to set up all my stimuli and stuff on the software I need to use. My supervisor is just telling me to go and do it. I don't arsing well know how. I haven't really looked into it much mind you. Why am I doing a Masters again? D'oh. |

| Re: Dissertations I was doing my Masters thesis on Perceptions and framing of the deserving and undeserving poor in the British media 1997-2007, but since i've got another go at it, i'm going to do it on The Transformational power of the internet in politics. This will hopefully land me a job at Blue State Digital one day... |

| Re: Dissertations Think I've got about 3000.
Want another 2000 done today - Mine only has to be 10 - 12000, so I reckon I can get my first draft done by Friday, if I stop going out straight from uni having forgotten about dinner and ending up somewhere ridiculous.
