Capstone/Internship Possible: Yes/Yes
Description:

This project is of interest to students who would like to focus on social sciences research or, include a social sciences component in natural sciences research. This research experience will focus on utilizing qualitative research methodologies within a specified community (or particular sub-set), or within one organization (an ASEP Partner such as Keweenaw Bay Indian Community Natural Resources Dept., Trout Unlimited, or GLIFWC, to name just a few). Data collection will include ethnography (participant observation), conducting oral histories, and/or semi-structured interviewing. Processing data will include detailed fieldnotes and reflections, as well as oral history and interview transcription, utilizing the latest transcription software. The student will engage in qualitative data analysis such as thematic coding, and again, engage with qualitative data analysis software.
