This is the project toward my Master degree…which should have been in my pocket long ago but not yet until now, due to the immigrant “ups and downs”, mostly struggles…

@Mary L

This sounds really interesting. Is this for a class, your own work, a project, or what? Hope to hear more about the progress, reasons for your creation of it, and who your intended audience is.

Title: Finding my way home-Narrative and the Immigrant Experience

It is a “pain and gain” game to reflect on my own 4 years of immigrant life in Canada…

Note: HOME here indicates a status of being in the comfort zone, a kind of “feeling at home”

Still in progress…

Mary, can you speak about your writing you are working on now, or perhaps share how and where you are engaging in it?

Hi Jeffrey, it is great to revisit your site. I am working on my autoethnography writing now. I don’t have a website like you do, instead, I am putting stuff on my MSN space. Thanks for the inspiration.

@Mary L

I am thrilled you want to use my work in your research. Please use and cite me away!

I am new to autoethnography and working on a project using this method. May I include this in my references? Thanks!

or we can even pretend the assumptions of the researcher do not influence his or her own quantitative research!

Right– with quantitative research you instead get to analyze the researcher, their assumptions, and the creation of the research questions
