International or community development, social justice, and/or social life

  This semester, the focus is for you to conduct a small qualitative research project related to a theme or issue in international or community development, social justice, and/or social life. You are tasked with designing a small (think small, and then divide by 4) pilot study that can be accomplished through interviewing your friends and/or family. You will situate your inquiry in a particular social or institutional context and ask a focused research question by conducting 2-3 individual interviews (over Zoom) and collecting/analyzing at least one additional primary source (several hours of participant-observation in an online setting, analysis of a website or social media thread, etc). How do parents of preschool, kindergarten and elementary students perceive the effects of online schooling during the COVID-19 pandemic on their professional, emotional, and family lives?
