Overall Research Project Description:
The UROP student will transcribe interviews completed by the Mentor last year while in India, and, if time, interviews available on the internet. The interviews are all in English and recorded on a digital format. Each student will train with the mentor about how to transcribe effectively, including the format. The students will then utilize NVivo with the Mentor to find commonalities and repeated phrases/ideas. 

Research Tasks:
The mentee will transcribe interviews, ensuring complete voracity. Then the student will work with the mentor to find points of commonality. 

Skills that research assistant(s) may need::
Access to Word documents or the equivalent is the only required technology. Though having headphone or earbuds to be able to listen carefully will also be useful. The Mentor will provide NVivo and always work with the students on this part of the project.
All interviews are conducted in English. No previous knowledge of any Indian language, film, or transcribing is necessary.

Mentoring Philosophy:
As a mentor, I view myself as a facilitator, an individual trained in specific fields of study that enables me to create the necessary environment and conditions where mentees can learn and grow. I view the mentee as someone whose aim is to increase their understanding of the world and to prioritize learning over finishing. Further, I accept that experience is one of the best and most lasting conduits for learning. In the mentor/mentee exchange, I commit to providing clear and straightforward expectations, to being available for any and all questions or concerns, and to creating work and environment productive to learning. I expect mentees to approach projects with open minds and inquisitive natures; it is never inappropriate to ask for clarification or repetition of expectations.
