Just got the okay from the IRB at Lesley University and now my study of GOM can officially begin. I still need to make a few changes to my consent form. I didn't realize that filling out a questionnaire can cause stress in people, but I guess it can. 1/7 questionnaires have already been returned. At this rate it is going to be a LONG process. I am so glad that I began early with the initial okay from the IRB.
Already surfacing from the initial paper on GOM is the need for oral history to take a more prominent role in my research and in research in general, especially when it involves research with indigenous peoples. Very exciting.
While there is no school in the summer, I will be busy researching GOM, treaties, Ho-Chunk history, interviewing people and studying qualitative research methods and ways of knowing. Summer looks to be busy and hopefully productive as well.
