Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

the big stickied thread is getting cluttered with lots of new people and the "how was your week" thread isn't a great fit for introductions, so it seems about time to make this a dedicated thread of its own so peoples' posts aren't getting lost.

tell us a little bit about yourself, folks. don't gotta be too specific or revealing, just whatever you want to put out there. this'll be a good way of getting to know all the people you're now on here with

I'm an ethnomusicologist! The diss is focused on experimental music and sonic communities in Austin and their relation to the city's transformation over the years.

That's awesome! How did you fall into such research?

Haha, it's interesting, I started grad school with a different project (more about noise, improvisation, and politics) and just kind of fell into it because of the way that some of my writing in various classes progressed! That's how grad school in the humanities goes often, your classes begin to mold your ideas differently.
