2. Multidisciplinary Methods for Macs (M3)   

How do I move from ideas to articles and books? Research workflow is crucial for the new scholar as well as the established scholar who’s hitting an impasse. Computers, especially the Mac platform, offer resources that would be unthinkable a generation ago: programs like DevonThink, Bookends, Aeon Timeline, and Obsidian, to name but a few, are useful for all kinds of disciplines. I’m starting a multidisciplinary group to focus on workflow. How do you get things done, academically? What tools do you use? What have you learned along the way? If you’re interested, please email me at [email protected] and let’s get together!
