As I outlined in my Research Methodology post, I have switched gears a decent bit and will be looking in to how women have been affected in leadership roles within the A10 Conference and why exactly that is. I will be looking more closely at leadership positions like Athletic Directors, Presidents, Vice Presidents, Media/Content Creator, and Coaches just to name… Read more »
I have largely changed my course over the last couple of weeks – I initially began asking questions regarding how athletes as a whole have been negatively effected by Title IX (related too much to my own bias). Upon doing some more in-depth research, I have discovered that it would be appropriate to ask some more specific questions and slightly… Read more »

My research questions have not changed much since last week. I wish to research mental health and how that impacts performance and being able to find a correlation between mental training and success in athletic competition. To accomplish that, I am looking to Novak Djokovic and how he mentally trains for competition. Because he is one of the greatest tennis… Read more »

The theoretical approach that I will be using to explore and understand the current curricula and policy at medical education centers will be qualitative document analysis. I will be gathering a lot of information from pre-existing curricula and policies from medical education centers like VCU (potentially UVA) to later assess their effectiveness. I think it would be interesting to… Read more »

Given that my research topic is a very nascent field, I believe that qualitative research methodology will be most beneficial to my research proposal regarding Digital Ethics. Ethical questions, in general, are challenging to answer as ethics can be situational and contextual. Ethics are not easily codified and measured. As Digital Ethics is not yet defined in public policy nor… Read more »
I plan to delve deeply into the concept of weathering using the qualitative research methodology to glean specific information on the subject. I want to know if the research supports or dispels the concept of weathering. Case studies will be my main focus, even though they are anecdotal in nature the specificity I’m seeking can be found in within their… Read more »
My research is based on an article by Jessica Pendergrass detailing the precarious plight of black women during pregnancy. Pendergrass’ research explores the disparate outcomes for black women during the childbirth process. According to CDC information in her research, black women are almost four times as likely to die during childbirth than their white counterparts. Pendergrass delves deeply into the… Read more »
