Finally: Thesis

So, two months later, exhibition is off--we couldn't get the space, and none of us has enough time or resources to search for another, etc etc.
Instead, thesis is STARTED. I'm reading up on nineteenth century class theory, and to give you a little taste:
Notes for pages 6-9
30. Dale Johnson, as an orthodox Marxist, has complained about Giddens's "Marxized Weberian perspective...A rather indiscriminate eclecticism in his theoretical position leads to some provocative critiques but does not lend itself to the construction of a coherent theory." (Class and Social Development, pp.24-5n)
Oh, snap!
I'm also trying to decide what 1890s pattern to recreate, which is exciting and actually rather difficult! I'm thinking middle of the decade...big puffy sleeves.....

I might even read Marx.....now THIS is grad school.
