Barry,
Both look highly 'viable' and important developments in your learning
community researches. I take the point about submitting an abstract at this
stage. What you might like to think about is writing an abstract based on
the aims, objectives and methods of the research. The case study of the
female head might be of interest here as it is a new case study and you will
be getting a lot of data which will provide a comparative base with your
analysis of Ken Davis strategies, career and context. New methodological
issues will also arise in this area I would guess.
