| Purpose: | This award, funded through the Fire Grant program, will be given to one undergraduate student to support directed research during Summer Session I. The recipient of this award will join the Writing Diabetes (WD) project as part of the HHIVE research team. During spring semester 2016, the WD project conducted a writing workshop for individuals living with diabetes. Study participants learned techniques of narrative writing and composed illness essays centered on their health/illness experience. After the completion of the writing workshop, the research team will submit this archive to narrative analysis using a host of approaches and tools. The recipient of this award will gain experience conducting qualitative analysis of narrative data. |
