today in the grad student center victor introduces me to rene, also in the history department, and in the throes of his dissertation. he has a deck of cards, and we randomly play a few rounds of blackjack while he offers us advice on how to write a thesis. and since that's something that i guess i will have to do in the not-too-distant future, i thought i'd jot down everything that i learn about that in this blog, so that when the time comes i'll have a veritable treasure trove filled with the experiences of penn students before me.
thus, dissertation tip #1 is:
ANY THESIS CAN BE IMPROVED BY ADDING ":THE BIRTH OF A NATION STATE" TO ITS TITLE.
