1 year, 15 fieldsites, and 25 interviews later, I have finally wrapped up my main data collection period.
I feel humbled by all that I have learned along the way about conducting ethnography; the city of Edinburgh and the smart, creative, and kind people who enchant it and give it character; as well as how digital platforms and technologies mediate and shape these placemaking practices and associated economies.
I have so many feelz about exiting the field -- part of me wants to continue talking to people, but the other part of me knows that I am running out of steam and that my research design needs to also be guided by the principles of self care.
This year has been one of the toughest and most trying years of my academic career. I am a bit more jaded than I was before, but I have also discovered who my allies are and who to steer clear of within the academy.
So much work lies ahead and I know that the next steps will come with their own unique trials and tribulations, but I am going to try to focus less on that for now and try to appreciate how far I have come. *High fives a million angels*

I love this new concept of mixing working spaces with cafeterias. I guess I have finished most of my thesis in such places

A floor person!
♀️♀️ Depois de uma série de coleta de dados hoje foi dia de organizar tudo. Cronologicamente - não ficou bom o suficiente.
Por tipos de dados - ainda não.. Mostrei a “real” ! rabisquei um rascunho com a lógica que de fato segui. Revisitei meu diário de campo desde 2016, quando começou meu interesse de entender a lava jato.
Cabeça fervilhando, ideias confusas... Meditei, tomei um banho longo. Fiz almoço.
Então sentei e escrevi.. uma, duas, oito versões.
Fez sentido agora.
Mas qual autor você usou para seguir a metodologia?
Nenhum e todos!
Aprendi com o orientador que não precisamos da benção de uma referência da moda.
Acatei rigor e ética em todas as etapas. Resgatei autores que comungam com meu jeito de ver a ciência (coerência ontológica e epistemica) Insights de professores, opiniões críticas de colegas.
E voila, seção de coleta de dados fechada! Por definição o capítulo de método é para mostrar o caminho que você fez.. O Simples sempre libertador e poderoso!
Mas a escrita é como pão. Depois de sovada a massa, há que se ter paciência e esperar que cresça.
Amanhã meu dia começa com uma leitura menos apegada do que escrevi. Vamos ver o que sobram das 6 páginas de hoje.
Agora continuo aqui, jogada no chão ao som de Vinicius!
Boa noite, gente #100daysofdissertation

Hypothetically speaking ... How do I plan on rewarding myself after 5 grueling (but rewarding) years of writing a PhD? Number 3️⃣ ... throw a big party (Ugandan style), pat myself on the back and channel my inner narcissist I can’t remember the last time I celebrated my personal achievements. That’s self-care too☺️...
So true! .

Waiting for my coffee in the morning sun...Throwback to Vienna last Thursday. My hotel was located superconveniently in the Museumsquartier, very close to the Weltmuseum where I was working on their collection of silver amulets, but a decent coffee was not on the hotel menu. Fortunately, the café on my way opened early: a quick cup before disappearing into the storage room for the day made all the difference.
I am also seriously loving the vintage Moroccan goldwashed chicken earrings I'm wearing here: they are light and easy to wear, and go with everything! You'll see why they are called chicken in the close-up I posted last week
Have a relaxed, long Ascension weekend!
