New Thesis

As you may notice, my proposal below seems vastly different from what I've been saying I'm going to do for my thesis. And, you're right, I did just change my topic.

This was the original thrust of my philosophy thesis which I've been researching since the summer. I decided to split that topic into two papers so that I could focus on arguing for the benefits of an institutional approach to several persistent problems in philosophy for that thesis. I am so interested in this topic, that I didn't want to just drop my attempt to describe institutions of violence. So, that's what I'll be doing here. I am much further along in the research and more excited about the work, so I think this change is for the best.

I'll be publishing my time line shortly.
