  mentoring_philosophy: "I am looking to work with a FSU UROP student who wants to explore their creative side. Garbage Pail Kids cards are something that I grew up with in the 1980s and 1990s and now want to explore them to see what I didn't notice as a child. I want to work with someone who is curious about these artistic presentations to better understand the trends presented and then reflect on what these mean in greater society. I am fairly open to the working situation and can work remotely or in meetings when they're needed. I imagine an ideal mentor relationship is one where we work together and each offer ideas for the project. I don't want someone who is simply wanting to carry out my project. I want someone who is interested in exploring their own ideas."

  overall_research_project_description: 'UROP participants will work under the guidance of the professor and graduate student to analyze what cultural and societal trends are represented in the 1980s "Garbage Pail Kids" trading cards. The directory of cards is located online (https://geepeekay.com/). Students will work with graduate students to develop questions that will be used to analyze the different cards throughout the full collection so that the graphic design and card portrayals can be analyzed.

  research_tasks_for_student_research_assistant_s_: "Students will work with the professor and graduate student to create categories for the questions about the Garbage Pail Kids cards and then collect data from the online resource. If students wish to work on statistical analysis after the data has been collected, I'm more than happy to have them assist with data analysis.  I want to ultimately pursue publishing the research in a journal when it's finished, so help with writing a literature review and discussion is also helpful."
