Well it was a very nice weekend and now its back to the daily grind! To sum up what I worked on over the weekend I sent out the email that I prepared to people on and off our campus who have had an impact on the history of Disability and Disability Studies at OSU. I have been corresponding with the people who have written me back and setting up appointments to get interviews with them. I have already lined up 6 interviews over the next 3 weeks. I am still waiting to here back from quite a few people.
I had my weekly meeting with Prof B on Monday. We talked about all the suggestions that Rob and Natalie had made about the site in our meeting on Friday. Prof B also talked to me about putting a 20 minute video together as sort of a preview of the project to put on the main page. We just be using all of the footage that I will have gathered throughout the summer. We decided that I could do this if we had time enough to do it, but if not it could be a project for Fall Quarter. Then we decided that nest week I will report who I had heard back from and made appointments with and that I would do my first video interview with her. We are also going to come up with questions to ask the other people that I will be interviewing.
Today we did not have workshop, but we did have seminar. We talked about Research Questions. We also talked about the structure of research articles that are published in journals. Then Jeffrey Cohen and Roger Ratcliff who are Alex and Andy's facult partners came to talk about research questions and funding. They gave us some good tips about applying for grants and how to fill out proposals.
Now I am off to get some reading done for tomorrow.

Thanks for reading!
