Research In Progress

I seriously can't tell you how excited I am to be doing my first ever interview today. In sociology you can pretty much decide to go in one of these directions for research methods:
  • theory
  • qualitative
  • quantitative
  • mix of the above
So far I've done a bit of quantitative and a bit of theory, but this will be my first foray into qualitative research; doing interviews.

My research question: how is identity situated in relationship to the process of blogging daily outfits?

I have found online many brilliant women engaging in this activity and I want to know more about how it all works. So today I'll start to learn, then I'll do more interviews on Friday and some on Saturday and maybe with this work, I'll be able to get a better understanding of the question.

    I'm excited for you Emily. As an Anthro. minor this 'phenomena' has interested me too. Could it be a 'Rite of Passage' perhaps?
    Chat with you tomorrow!
