This past week I’ve spent ample time contemplating where I would like to go with my topic, and I have narrowed my scope down to looking at homelessness among the senior women who are widows. I’m sure there is a much more elegant way to describe my topic, but at this stage I am just […]

As I said last week, my first step was to analyze the current literature in each of my possible chosen topics so that I can see what information I have to work with and where there is a gap in the literature.  I have also developed what I believe to be two of my questions […]

Last week, there was one intensive lesson for two days, postdigital society. Let me learn some effective learning methods to analyze, study, research, and even become an “expert” method. For example, […]

In the past week, I have taken two intensive classes. These four days have been very intense for me. Both teachers and students have worked very hard. But in this process, I have learned many fields that I have never touched before. Let me have a more in-depth thinking on my future research direction. After […]
