I'll be a student again tomorrow, starting a Ph.D at USC. This shift has been a long time in coming; I've been thinking about doctoral programs since I received my MA and moved to California some three years ago. On one hand, I'm completely thrilled. I have a big list of research topics that I am dying to crack open. The lifestyle will probably agree with me, as I've been known to be a huge geek. (I'm brushing up on my APA style as I draft this by reading the 6th edition manual) On another, it's a proclamation that I have much to learn. In that, I can't help but feel humble. The state of communication research is highly fractured, fast-paced, and high-stakes. My past research interests seem like they need more focus and specificity to fully mature. Expect this blog to turn into an area where I'll draft new ideas and proposals over the next few years.
