Research Ideas

Homesteading (Urban?)
I think I would like to investigate, locally, the recent resurgence of homesteading in our country. Possibly follow a couple blogs, online groups and possibly meet with a couple local women who have their very own homestead. I think the question here would be what is the motivation? Or why have a homestead? What are the benefits of a homestead? Something along those lines. 


As of now, I don't know of another idea of something I would be interested in researching. I think I am pretty sure I will go the homestead route. That could all change but it's something I am very interested in learning more about.


***I am now considering changing my topic because it may prove to be rather difficult to study my fieldsite via the web. I am not exploring the idea of the farmers market and why to shop locally. I would attend the Nashville Farmers Market on Saturdays during their busiest time and watch listen smell and also, dialogue with the farmers and the consumers.
