Even though I’ll be done my MBA in a few weeks and I plan on going for a PhD in the next few years, this morning I woke up with the idea “do I need a different bachelors degree before going to a PhD?”

I…I have a problem.

I discovered that over the course of my full-ride BSBA and half of a full-ride MBA, my institution and the Florida lottery system has paid out approximately $50,000 in scholarships and grants to my account for tuition, housing, and other educational expenses.

So, the state of Florida has paid for 6 years of my professional education for $10,000 less than the cost of one year of undergraduate tuition at an Ivy League school.

I'm almost done my masters so that means I will soon be able to publicly post all of the parts to my thesis on my website. Just because I'm thinking about going private industry for a few years, that doesn't mean my work on food waste and retail grocery supply chain efficiency is going to stop.

One of the people I’m interviewing for my thesis: so once you go off and get that PhD, what are you going to do with your life?
Me: well, after going through all that, hopefully I’m going to end up researching more of this stuff
Them: I think you’re going to end up owning a gay bar

As I'm typing up my reading list for my small business management workshop, I'm reminded that I need to get back to posting about my reading list for my thesis. Particularly after the conversation I sparked off today about LGBTQ chambers of commerce. It's not all obscure hospitality research papers. Some of it's obscure LGBTQ tour guide books for Key West.

One of the fun little things I had to do recently was submit a list of objectives for my research. Which in this context meant telling my department what could be the possible industry applications could be for all of this work.
*in a John Mulaney voice*
“I will now share for you these objectives.”

I suppose there's a certain amount of irony in that all of my long term relationships have ended because of academia and that I'm about to spend the rest of my life studying LGBTQ community building.

#BusinessAcademic #BusinessResearch #DisabledAcademic #QueeringAcademia

Recently, a friend (a cis gay man who works in hospitality and tourism management) said that it had never really occured to him that there might be a difference between gay bar operations and general bar operations. Which was followed by the question, how much difference do you think there actually is in the two operations modes?
And, reader, I don't know. That's why this is my research.

Them, people generally concerned about my well-being: what do you want to do with your life after grad school?
Me, externally: research into entrepreneurship in LGBTQ communities as a method of creating more inclusive public spaces
Me, internally: spend the rest of my life writing about, creating, and selling business fashion for queer people

Creating (yet another!) thread to keep track of choice things I've said items of #LGBTQ pop culture as part of my thesis work.

The peak of my academic life (up to this point) is really going to come from using classic queer media as sources for my thesis. So far I'm at:
1. The Boys in the Band (1968, 1970, 2018)
2. La Cage aux Folles (1973, 1978)
3. The Birdcage (1996)
4. Paris Is Burning (1990)
5. The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1973, 1975)

They all connect back to the creation of queer spaces...somehow. La Cage aux Folles is even literally about managing a drag bar.

In the work that has already been produced on my research focus, the face off that I've seen most often is gay bar versus LGBTQ bar.
The argument from one side is that gay bar is unnecessary gendering and creates the atmosphere of a strictly men's bar. The argument from the other direction is that gay has become a more generalized term and is no longer as gendered.

What I'm concerned about is how that impacts the ROI. (joke)

Today, I'm working on the annotated bibliography that I have to submit at the end of this semester before I officially beginning my research on gay bar management.
With the bit of creative freedom I've been given on this assignment, I've chosen to include several books, plays, and movies as support for the background and necessity of my work.
As I start to post abut my work again, let's go to The Boys in the Band.

My proposal for a paper on paranormal tourism has been picked up by a gothic conference as a small business management workshop.

Long winded way of saying I’m having a very good week!

Whoops, am I screwing myself over by applying to a management PhD program at a school where my platonic partner teaches? Even if he was the one who encouraged me to come to his region to do my research? Being a gay in business gets very complicated very quickly.

Conversations about grad school with someone who works at one of the schools I'm considering:

Me: "Do you think I can safely do a PhD in Dallas with my identity and research interests?"
Him: "I think the gay bars in Dallas need a lot of help."

To other people at my institution, the weirdest thing I’ve ever done is collect faculty members like trading cards in terms of the connections I’ve made in my field.

To me, about other people at my institution, the weirdest thing they’ve ever done is not bother to learn anything about anyone they’ve ever taken a class from, outside of their last names.

And it’s just: Now who’s the one getting so much offered help on their thesis?

Using PowerPoint to make memes about #BusinessResearch? Couldn't be Jack.

One of the best uses of my academic connections is just being able to DM people on LinkedIn about weird research questions about things that bother me in different retail stores.
Feature of this week: questions about supply chain issues for specific dairy products in sustained demand.

someone way away from me, involved in a conversation I have no business being involved in, lightly whispers, "I'm thinking of investing in crypto"
me, sitting doing research notes, standing up and dashing to their table, against my better judgement to say, in an academic terms, "please don't"

Back to using this meme format to describe my academic dilemmas.

Gendered Products

Is it necessary to gender any products?
Many of us say no, but is there a business reason to support this argument.

One scenario is that excessive, hyper-gendering of products may lead to a variety of extreme differentiation that negatively impacts sales.

The perfect example of this is the design, branding, and advertising of razors.

My theory is that the more complicated the design, the more gendered the product presentation.

In light of the news about the Dilbert creator, I’m so glad that I chose to be a Far Side business academic when it came to the initial choice about which tear away desk calendar I wanted to receive for the rest of my life.
