Reflection & Planning

🎯 Curriculum objective

By the end of this semester I want to be able to assess if the Museian project is something I can sustainably do, and to what extent. I want to be able to plot the advantages, disadvantages, holes and opportunities of the project.

🤝 Intersectionality statement

As mentioned in Historical and modern conversations about polymaths, the pursuit of polymathy is the underscore of the entire Museian project. Semester zero is an experimental attempt to execute it for 8 weeks.

💭 Other reflections

Some hurdles to this semester might be…

• Readjustment back to workload following wedding planning
• Adjustment into new life chapter

Other hope and goals for this semester are…

• Start public visibility on projects and ideas
