What is a Senior Research Project?

At BASIS Tucson, seniors have the chance to propose an independent research project that takes place off campus during the last trimester of the year. The seniors whose proposals are accepted write their own syllabi and then head off into the world, to a site where they conduct their research while interning with a professional in the field. Those of us stuck on campus follow their adventures on this blog. Now that the projects are over, we are all excited to attend their presentations. The schedule is as follows:

Wednesday, May 11, 6-8 PM
at the U of A Poetry Center (environmentalism projects)
Sierra Cordova, Nicole Rapatan, Zobella Vinik and Dany Joumaa (see titles of projects, below)

Saturday, May 14, 10-12 AM
at The Loft Cinema (arts projects)
Clarice Bales, Samone Isom, Josh Waterman and Angelynn Khoo (see titles of projects, below)

Monday, May 16, 6-8 PM
at BioSciences West, Rm. 310, U of A ( U of A projects)

Guess Who's Back? (Agustin is!)

Howdy Everybody!

Exactly one week ago, I set foot once again on dry Tucson dirt. After two days of non-stop travel, it was nice to finally be able to go home and shower in my own shower and lie down in my own bed and just be home. Anyway, on a more academic note, I came back with an amazing amount of information! I really am a little shocked at the amount of information, and work, that I have for the coming weeks. Since I got back, I have been doing a lot of thinking and planning and I just started doing some translating. All the data that I have is in Spanish, so for a while that will be my main job. I also have to translate the interviews so that I can use them for my presentation. It’s going to be a lot of hard work. Like I said, I have also been thinking a lot, just connecting ideas and events. Once I have all my information translated, I can dive into writing and writing and more writing! I'm really excited to start writing and see where this topic takes me. It was an amazing experience gathering all the information and researching, and I'm positive it will just as much fun writing! So, not much to write about for this post, and the following posts won’t be too long or exciting either, I’ll just be writing like crazy, so not really much to talk about. But rest assured, I will be enjoying myself! That’s it for now, next week I hope to have an outline ready for my paper and maybe I will have started working on the subtitles for the little bits of interviews that will be in my final presentation.

Until next time!

Agustín
