I am interested in exploring uses of information and communication technologies (ICTs) as a means for social and economic justice in developing nations. In the age when information is the number one commodity in our economy, the digital divide hinders the economic of those who cannot access valuable information. ICT solutions can enable the poorest of people in the hardest to reach areas access to information that empowers social and economic development. This is particularly true in developing nations where the rural impoverished suffer daily from a lack of access to in some cases life-saving information.

Is there someone you can interview here--without waiting for a response to an email? Good plan...but also have plan B.

I am exploring application of ICTs for Poverty Reduction in Developing Nations, but am having trouble zeroing in on a specific research question. Phrased in a research question, this could be "What are applications of ICTs for Poverty Reduction in Developing Nations." Because we have only completed a preliminary literature review, I phrased it as a statement only for the time being, until the question can be further developed. The tentative question I would like to address is: Are applications of ICTs for Poverty Reduction in Developing Nations consistent with academic findings regarding the most effective applications of ICTs? This is still a work in progress, but I think its a very good start for not having collected any data yet and still investigating the subject.

Josh...explain your basic idea...you are exploring the fairness of the system to select college teams for bowl championship games.

You have to keep explaining your research question each week, so other students can understand what you are doing.

Im researching where the mentally ill who commit crimes end up. Jail or mental health programs? Additionally, I want to know what professionals such as police officials and mental health providers think about this situation.

You could also be trying to contact local professional in organizations that help the mentally ill. Don't be waiting for email responses only.

I am researching the procedures that police officers have to take when they confront a criminal and the type of force they can use until it is considered excessive force.

Can you give some details about who you are interviewing--not necessary the name but how they fit into your research?

I interviewed a man that was on the head of the board of a Santa Barbara chapter of a mental health group. He got into the mental health field because he had a son that was arrested many times and eventually was put into a program. The interview gave me both a personal side as well as an informative side to the issue.

Research question: What are the academic prospects for undocumented students?

I'm not sure if Professor Ross has you read the same articles as the Writ107 Journalism class but we just read a great article on undocumented students and education. It was surrounding the "Dream Act" fighting for undocumented students to be able to attend college, etc. Hopefully this link will work:

I am working on gang aesthetics/tattoos, street tribes, & resilience among street life oriented "gang associated youth". I have some interviews with some young people this week and will be taking photographs of their tattoos

My research is on police brutality and how it affects the relationship between civilians and police officers. I plan on attending the occupy SB movement this weekend along with Pat from photojournalism and Mariana from 107

The Occupy SB movements have been relatively peaceful and small compared to other cities, like Oakland. If it is in SB, that will be SB Police Department vs. IV (Sheriff) and campus (UCSB police). I'm unaware of any charges of police brutality with Occupy movements in SB, although there have been allegations/investigations of mistreatment of young people, especially minorities. Are you wanting to focus on the Occupy movements...or local law enforcement? Or both?

I am sticking to my plan of doing a piece on the injustice surrounding many elderly people in our country. I am planning on going to a nursing home this weekend to interview some staff members as well as elderly persons who are willing. If anyone else is interested in this topic, please let me know. I would love to have some photographic documentation!

My research question has shifted to the programs for youth in the juvenile justice system because it was going to be hard to get inside a detention center. I am trying to get in contact with the Santa Barbara County Probation office for an interview on the programs they provide and hopefully the IV Teen Center can offer some help. Any other thoughts on people that would be helpful to interview would be appreciated Thanks!

I'm in the research/interview phase of my project. I've lined up some transsexual and gender bending subjects that I'm planning on photographing and interviewing. I'm also using the online library paper database to read/cite case studies related to my project.

I have revised my research question in an attempt to narrow down my research topic.

I am currently researching my topic which is the compensation for wrongfully convicted criminals. I am finding a lot of information about particular cases in which DNA was involved and am also finding that the law varies from state to state for compensation. Some states release exonorees with absolutely nothing, not even an apology.
