If you'd like to introduce yourself you can do so here. What's your subject area? What are your research and/or teaching interests? What do you do to relax?
I am a French media PhD student. I am starting my second year. I work on the evolution of the Sci Fi franchises since 2000, and my work will be mostly about Battlestar Galactica.
Though I already have a good idea of the "main" structure of the thesis, I am currently still in the process of reading/reviewing my book list. At least, I'll go back to do that after a couple of month breaks, once I've moved.
I was lucky so far with the book list. I managed to put some books I used for my previous MA degrees, and find a lot of interesting books (Cinema and TV series generalities, Transmedia, Fan communities, Science Fiction and more economical/marketing books which are the ones I'll read last because meh!). I bless amazon because 90% of my books are in English as the topic isn't big in France.
