goals

I was swamped this week, especially doing the group project, and forgot about my final project goals. I think the most important thing is to finally decide what I want to do it on. After our conference, I think I'll make my project about sexual violence at UNH. The only goal we really set for that one is to contact SHARP, which I did not do. Here is a list of stuff I need to do, people I need to contact, etc.

1. Gather data. I need to dig up those SHARP records and I think the sociology department's independent study, police records, as well as any other records that may exist.
2. Find interviewees. This must include victims, and could include all or any of the following: SHARPP people, high ranking administration, police officers, assaulters, trauma counselors, professors who are experts, random students on whether or not they knew this was such a problem.
3. Do interviews. But first, really think about what I want the composition of the story to be and how I can conduct interviews in a way that will lead to that. Become semi-expert on the technology of video/audio and practice taking stills.
4. Edit and organize content. Yay, final product!

EDIT

I forgot to write down what the class could help with. It would be awesome if everyone could network a bit and try to contact someone they know who has been a victim of sexual violence or definitely knows someone who has. I figure if the statistics are right and one in four UNH women has been victimized, it's almost certain that we could get ahold of someone.
