Thesis Proposal

You can view a my thesis proposal as a .doc file here.

I've been having trouble with my new spin on the project (collaborating with the homeless to create virtual spaces). Something about it seems slightly under-developed... Kathleen made a good point that I need to bring 'how acts of imagination andcreativity intersect with issues of resource access or allocation' to the forefront of the project. The problem is that I am having a difficult time figuring out how to properly do this. At the same time I am having a difficult time finding a good way to approach people about the possibility of collaborating. Many people I have attempted to approach aren't all that interested in talking at all, especially not about something which, at face value, seems so irrelevant to them. I need to try a little harder and keep thinking about the best way to establish a relationship with them.
