Читать книгу Doing Ethnographic Research - Kimberly Kirner - Страница 102

Your senior capstone project is on the experiences of students with children at your university. You don’t have any funding from outside sources, but your university’s administration has told you and your project adviser that they really hope that you find that the resources they offer (e.g., onsite child care and breastfeeding rooms) are being used and appreciated by students. What you’re finding, however, is that many student parents face big challenges in accessing their education, including professors who don’t understand their needs and institutional resources being insufficient (e.g., childcare has a waiting list, breastfeeding rooms require a lot of walking across campus). You want to make a good impression, and the university’s administration has said they’d like to meet with you and your adviser about the project and feature it in the campus newspaper.
