Research Journal 1

Assignment:

Write a “thick description” of why you chose your topic. While it is possibly something you are very familiar with, assume that the reader has no sense of it.  Write your description in such a way as to give the reader a flavor/feel of the topic. You are also involved in the research of the topic so it would be helpful if you included yourself as a participant in the research process as well: what is your position? How do you see it? How do you feel about it?  Aim for about 2 pages.  Post it online by 5 p.m., Friday, April 13th.
