Work Not Yet in Progress

There are projects out there that need to be completed. Here, I try to persuade energetic, determined, academically qualified people to begin them.

If I were younger, I would think about doing some of them myself. But the clock is ticking, and my plate is full.

When I read, I sometimes think: "There is no really good book on this subject. There should be." When I research projects, I often conclude the same thing.

Here, I share my suggestions with people who may be looking for an M.A. thesis, Ph.D. dissertation, or book project -- or even a Website or blog.

I came up with this idea for a newsletter sometime in the late 1980's. I thought about the signs at the side of torn-up highways: Work in Progress. It took a year and a half after I started this Website before it occurred to me that my Website could serve this purpose. George Orwell was correct: it takes considerable effort to perceive what is under your nose.
