Dr. Joan Ferrante, "Places That Matter: Knowing Your Neighborhood through Data"
English | ISBN: 0520292359 | 2018 | 232 pages | EPUB | 6 MB
Places that Matter asks the reader to identify a place that matters in their life-their home, a place of worship, a park, or some other site that acts as an emotional and physical anchor and connects them to a neighborhood. Then readers are asked: In what ways do I currently support-or fail to support-that neighborhood? Should support be increased? If so, in what ways?
Joan Ferrante guides students through a learning experience that engages qualitative and quantitative research and culminates in writing a meaningful plan of action or research brief. Students are introduced to basic concepts of research and are exposed to the experiences of gathering and drawing on data related to something immediate and personal.
