JSTOR contains the following article which I am desperately trying to download but my Uni has limited access and could not get it. Please help if anyone has access to this article:

Separate Spheres? Beyond the Dichotomies of Domesticity by Deborah L. Rotman, Current Anthropology, Vol. 47, No. 4 (August 2006), pp. 666-674

Thanks.

Hi Adikumar,

I am a full time student and I do not work but there are many of my friends in the department who are abroad in different countries but doing PhD in UK. They do come for supervision meetings in 3-6 months time and they are working full time back home. These PhDs are part time PhDs. Even if I do full time, I work from home and only go for supervision meetings and attend workshops/seminars. It also depends upon yr faculty - I am in Humanities and Social sciences. Since it is not lab based, I have flexibility to work from home ! Hope it helps.

Hi Determined_daisy, How was yr day today? I am bit satisfied today. I could not meet my target to finalize two chapters by today. But, it seems if I work few hours tomorrow and the whole day Sunday, I will at least be able to send it by 18th. Have a supervision meeting on Monday for chapters 9 & 10. Since these chapters (9&10) are my second drafts, I assume there are not many corrections like in 7 &8 which I needed to restructure completely and add many points from the scratch!
Keep updating !!

Hi Determined_daisy, nice to see u back. I had been checking the forum daily to see yr updates - bit worried for not seeing u so long. Hope u are completely fine now. You also seem to progress a lot in this time. I am finding quite hard in Chapter 7 as this is a reshuffling of everything from my first draft. Thank god, chapter 8 is almost done - final touch needed before submission. I feel like crying sometimes as I feel stuck at many places and then I just procrastinate...checking emails, Facebook, Forum, other site. But, I am very determined today to progress and feel myself satisfied by the end of the day ! Good luck with yr work too. Swetch

Hi Determined_daisy, How have u been? How is your work going? I am nearly done for the chapter 7 and working on chapter 8, trying my best to complete by 15th. Hopefully, I will manage to finalize it by the weekend if not on 15th. Do update about your work !

Determined_daisy: Thanks for the updates. I have been working quite hard to get rid of these two chapters. There is a progress but very slow ! My plan is to submit the first draft by end of September but not sure when do I get feedback for these two chapters after I submit on 15 July. I assume I will get these back by Mid August. The two other analysis chapters sent a month back but have not got the supervision date for the feedback. Hope, I will be able to progress fast. Good luck to you too. Just wonder whether yrs is qualitative or quantitative analysis...I am doing qualitative and its killing me !

Quote From determined_daisy:

Hey Swetch, just checking in with today's successes and failures! I've managed to get through a couple of thousand words of writing which is good - I've done my chapter summaries (with incorporated - albeit not very thorough - lit reviews) and now just have the methodology to cover in my intro. Am pretty sure i'll have tons of corrections on this though. After that I need to crack on with my conclusion chapter and with correcting my 4 main chapters. I wanted to get the intro in the bag today (well, yesterday in fact) but these things always seem to take longer than planned - even on a good day like today where thre was very little window-staring (although I did manage to sort out my T-shirt drawer for a good hour, oops!)
Hope yours has gone to plan. Hopefully by Thursday when I'm next at home i'll be almost done with this intro. Good luck until then (up)


Hi determined_daisy,

You seem to progress a lot. Good work. I must say I am in a track after many days. Today, I managed to write, do corrections, analyse...lots to do in these chapters as its kind of complete rework in many sections and I am sure I will have tons of corrections again. These two chapters are the ones I have been struggling a lot from the beginning. I also counted the words in all the chapters, it is going to be 89,000 excluding conclusion chapter. I plan to write around 8000 words of conclusion. Not sure, whether I could finalize these two chapters by next week but I plan to submit on 15 July. When do you plan to submit the 1st draft?

Ok that sounds good Swetch! I am in history of art/museum studies. I'll check in first thing Tues to leave myself some targets if you fancy doing the same. Good luck with the corrctions until then, try to have some weekend fun too!


Hi determined_daisy, how are today? Just to check what are you up to. I could do some of the targets I set last week. I plan to complete draft of the two chapters by the end of this week. Since there are lots of things needed to add, its taking longer time than expected.

Quote From determined_daisy:

Hi Swetchha, it sounds like you're well on your way! I have corrections to do on all 4 chapters and he intro/conclusion to write - am about 1/3 through my intro and dreading the conclusion! Thanks for the accountability offer. Shall we start on Tuesday? I'm hoping to have finished my intro by then so that can be my first target! How about you? Thanks, Daisy :)


Hi Daisy. Thanks to you too for the offer. Sure, I will check the thread and find out how you go on Tuesday. I will complete the corrections in one Chapter by Tuesday. I am in Social science. I have individual chapters almost ready but there are lots of work needed to join the entire thesis. It lacks connection at many places. I plan to work on these after completing two final chapters. Good luck with your work ! Swetch

Hi all,

I am having the same problem. I get very distracted by tiny things and I stop writing. I also plan to submit end of September but my days are not being productive enough. I get lost in my thesis...so many chapters and so many things to do in it. I am doing corrections in my last two chapters at the moment. Still need one final chapter with conclusions.

@Determined_daisy: I would be glad to be your accountability partner and believe the same from you will keep me moving ! I do not work but have a child which makes me as busy as you with the work !
