UK Communities Preperations

As we near the end of the UK communities project, I look back on quite a bit of research I have gathered. I think my most useful resource will be found here in my blogs, as I have compiled most of my coherent thoughts in them. I feel as though I have a decent amount of information gathered on my own thoughts and observations, and certainly it will be useful having my interviews to look at, seeing where they agree and disagree with me. Whether or not my location is a cosmopolitan canopy or not is still somewhat up for grabs, I have evidence supporting it in both ways. It seems people do come and socialize, but not necessarily outside of their own groups. I think true cosmopolitanism would be everyone interacting together, but I guess its a start. I feel as though after I write my paper I will be truly prepared for a presentation, as I can compile all of my findings into a power point. This will help me organize my information, as well as provide an opportunity to add in some images and sketches. The only thing I find lacking in my project as of now is the background information of the site. I think we were told to hold off on this research for the time being, but am wondering when we are going to discuss it again. I have had trouble getting anything together on my own. If anyone else has any suggestions as to how to find some good background info, please let me know.
