I feel good about the ideas I’ve expressed in my thesis about digital blackface and archives. At this point, I still have some sources to read. I also need to look back on some of the sources we’ve read this year that discuss archives. I have a master document with all my sources and the notes I’ve taken as I’ve been reading. Once I’m done with reading I’m going to create an outline for my essay, which I plan to finish at the end of the week. I think I might be a little stuck on purpose, not because I think the essay has no purpose, but the purpose feels amorphous in my brain right now. I think this might be because I plan on tweaking my thesis a bit. I don’t feel like it fully expresses what I’m trying to get across as much as I’d like to yet.
