After reading Peanut's post about Burke, her point about "DOing" something really resonated with me.  So I thought I would share a bit about my thesis experience as it aligns with this theme nicely!

I didn't actually think I would do a thesis.  I was afraid, to be quite honest.  And I also didn't think I had anything of value to really say and contribute the body of knowledge that exists in our field.  But as I pursued the idea of an internship I thought, "Why can't I do both?"  Why can't I contribute to the academic conversation AND "do" something?

So I did... (or rather... AM doing)

I found an amazing organization and group of women that i'm working with to help advance women in sport in some way.  Not only does my research feel fulfilling, but I know that what myself and these talented women are striving to achieve is a valuable example of "doing" work.

So thanks to women like S.B. who show us our actions can make a difference, I hope to do the same in any way that I can... however big or small!
