Meeting with my supervisor

Basically we were able to define my thesis question as: A realist critique of social constructionism and it's practice.

Important questions that were raised included:

1. What will we use to cast a critical eye on SC ?
2. What are our theoretical boundaries?
3. Empirical Side of the study ...

A potential outline looked like:

Early Chp's: Doubts about social constructionism
Middle: Policy documents of the department
And/or: Talking to or observing teachers in action

Words that floated into the conversation included: realism, Marxism, Post Structuralism, the structure-agency problem,
