Going into the new month with some not-so-light reading. One of my students asked me how I read, and this picture encapsulates my process pretty well. I scan a work, its arguments and its structure. Then I write in the margins questions of clarification and questions of substance (shoutout Dr. Charles Wood). Then I use sticky notes to label things I want to remember, use, or look at further. Then at some point, I insert the notes into various projects electronically. It’s a lot of fast and repeated iterations of this.
