So why did I choose to put my dissertation online?

1. I have already placed for publication two articles from chapters of my dissertation.

2. Because my current book manuscript diverges significantly from my dissertation, the online version of the latter will not compete with the former.

3. I was hopeful that this might encourage more people to read my research and to use it in their own work. There is a very small market for research that is narrowly focused on areas related to my Research work, and many of the books available on the international market are extremely expensive. I know from personal experience that texts which are freely available online are much more likely to be read (and referenced) than texts which are buried behind expensive paywalls.
