Methodology

I am working on preparing a page that gives a fundamental overview of what this project is conceived of, what it is designed to do, and why it matters. It will also explain my interview methodology, my permissions and informed consent process, and the digital tools I use.

In the meantime, you can reference my statement of purpose that I wrote at the end of my quarter (this project began as an undergraduate class assignment). Much has changed in my methodology since then, but the thinking behind the work, as I see it, is much the same.

For digital tools, I have some discussion of using cloud tools here, here, and here; and some discussion on why I have not yet used more powerful text mining tools here.
