Some thoughts about my own role now

DAY 21 15 May

Back to my PhD mode. Today I managed to transcribe the first meeting in our action stage. I even did the basic categorising but now I need to wait until the end to produce sthg more tangible (and coherent).
As I was going thru it, I began to observe my let’s say selfish, extra-scientific interests in this CAR project. Because I want things to go right I went to the first meeting armed with sources: Wikipedia, articles from mazaines, print outs for everyone, videos. My role is input/sources provider which is fine as I’ve got more time than my colleagues to do this and to be honest we’ve usually worked this way, why shouldn’t I do it now? My second intervention was that all handouts and photocopies for our students will be paid by me as I want to make sure money so to speak is not an issue. This is NOT USUAL but I don’t care as long as we know it’s for a good cause and everyone’s happy with it.
