Gentry and gentrification
Iβve finally completed the end-of-year dissertation for my MSc. Here I am with the final printed version, just before going to Leicester to hand it in.
A copy has been deposited at the library, and at some point I might order another print version for myself, in full colour, with all the fancy bindings. Iβve worked on it a bit more since handing it in, added some better maps, and a few more references.
Hereβs one of the extra maps I included:
Here is the pdf of the final dissertation, and Iβve uploaded a copy to Thesis Commons.
All of the project files are available to download as a zip file.
My file structure looks (approximately) like this:

I havenβt removed my comments from the tex files, there are a few sections with suggestions for expansion, stray thoughts, questions, and ideas which didnβt make it into the final piece. There are also a couple more entries in the bibfile than ended up in the final bibliography; you can easily add an βuncited referencesβ section into the pdf by uncommenting the second printbibliography
command in the end matter file.
