I started writing today. A tentative beginning dipping my toe into powerful waters thus:

I turn my attention now to how Foucault’s theories of the emergence of power, found in The subject and power, help explain the processes which led to Armstrong being fired.

I’m planning to show how commercial and legal discourses provide explanations to her dismissal and then develop a more complex understanding of the emergence of the various power structures in and around her workplace.

I have 15 000 words to write and only wrote 56 today. If I can punch out 300 words a day I’ll be on target to finish by mid-September. This will give me close to a month to complete final edits and prepare the introduction and conclusion.
