After false starts, and worse, false endings, my dissertation "All in: An inquiry into being a technically social consultant" is done. I sent it to my institution an hour ago, will print it out, bind it, post it tomorrow. For now, I am playing with various means of making it public.
I know I want it to be something other than a document that sits on a shelf. I also know it's been written in a very specific style and for a particular purpose. I'm not sure how well it'll translate for those who don't share that intent but I figure, get it up and out and see what happens. In the end, it's a piece of work I hope to come back to and develop (when I can stop the twitching). Throwing it out there in this form might be the start of that.
When I tweeted that I'd finished, and was working out the best way to make the document public, @timd offered to convert it into an ebook format. I'll post a link here when that's done. Meanwhile, I'm discovering Scribd from the POV of someone who has written something, not just someone who is reading someone else's work, so when that's sorted, I'll pop it up here.
