Frustration

I have been trying to get a hold of Zelinda Richards and the director of Project SARAH and I have been unsuccessful. I think I am going to have to switch my project to working with the Georgetown project. I feel pretty behind because I won’t be able to turn in my IRB until the next review date.

However I am trying to stay on track by doing a lot of background research. I found a book called Out of Sight, Out of Mind which is about homelessness in small town America. This book will be very helpful in my research.

  1. Don't feel discouraged, Adriana, this is part of the process and there is plenty to learn from "failed" attempts to access sites and populations. Reading about homelessness is a great start and should prepare you for formulating some productive interview questions. Is the book an ethnography?

  2. The book is an ethnography and is actually turning out to be extremely helpful!
