As economist, I like to examine social issues on a large scale, using data driven analysis to come to logical conclusions about what steps should be taken to mitigate them. As a human being, I like to examine social issues on a local level, using interpersonal connections and face-to-face interactions to create a bricolage of individual perceptions to create a logical conclusion about how we can change them. I have found that using economic analysis of data to derive the true solution for a social issue versus this bricolage coalesce much the same as General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics. Therefore, gathering data for my research included both hard data, and social perceptions. I interviewed people face-to-face, used an in-person monitored survey, and collected data from previous research. Below, elements of my creative process are available for viewing.

The form above was my first attempt to recruit subjects. I recruited two participants and made two new friends.

I made a contact at a local food store, it was from that individual I received the majority of my participants

Non-Cooperative Greens

An analysis of the language used by seven farmers and five control subjects within the theoretical framework of game theory allows for comprehensive examination of the systematic oppression in the U.S. food-system, as well as the potential for self-enforcing strategies to be used to overcome barriers for women in a rural farm setting.Women farmers participated in qualitative interviews following a flexible format designed to gather their perceptions of reputation, time-space, and barriers faced by small-scale organic food producers. Control interviews with participants arbitrary in relation to agricultural production have been gathered with a monitored survey. A similar interview instrument, however precise questions about agricultural technologies and practices were removed.

 


The Mission

Working for Peace, towards a better future.

Using a theoretical approach based in game theory identify strategies to achieve an equitable, sustainable, food production process within the United States through cooperation

In person interviews were recorded with an electronic audio recorder and transcribed onto a word document, printed, and then coded by hand. Monitored surveys were recorded on my computer as a word document, printed, and coded in the same fashion
