***Carol feedback 02/24: I had a meeting with Yochai today and we will focus exclusively for the next month on field study. Thus, the follow-up task here is develop a skeleton in the wiki to be addressed by the RAs in each field. This skeleton will guide the RAs and me in our field-research. Neil Fligstein and Pierre Bourdieu may be helpful in this activity. We should schedule a call to discuss this. My agenda allow a call tomorrow afternoon afternoon. You should call me as soon as you can, after 2pm.
