So I am a little behind on the reading, I have about 30 pages of REO left, I am hoping to finish them on the CATA on the way to class in the morning!
Because my research centers around the auto industry as it was restructured for war time production in Detroit, REO is really great for finding similarities. Of course this comes in the form of the unions, the UAW-CIO, is also important in my research. Key also to both my research and REO is race and gender relations. The role of racism has turned to center of my research in the study of the "Detroit Arsenal of Democracy".
I think this reading is helpful for how to structure my research, because it is (in many ways) similar in terms of industry, unionization, and race and gender. I am excited to talk about REO in class and hear what other people thought of the reading since I wasn't in class last week!
See you guys tomorrow! :o)
I must admit to being a bit jealous that we partially covered parts of your topic in class. Mine is pretty far removed from anything we are discussing. Having a basis for the structure of your paper coming from a published book is pretty lucky! I hope it works out well for you!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I didn't expect REO to help much with how to approach my own research, and while there are a lot of differences, it definitely gave me an example of a way to organize some of my research, and structure my thesis--which is continually evolving! I am hoping everything comes together!
ReplyDeleteGood luck though! Hopefully you can find a structure that works out with your topic! I am hoping that talking about format and structure a little in class will help out! :o)
