Starter 23
Think about the project you want to do this semester for Humanities.  It must focus somehow on housing inequality or inequality in post-secondary education, and it must have some kind of an impact.  

Take your starter to brainstorm today.  Use the following questions to help you get started, or to spark ideas if you get stuck!

1. What is an idea you have for a project right now?  Describe it in detail!  If you don't have a solid idea yet, brainstorm some possibilities, talk about what interests you most about these topics, and where you're most inspired to make a difference.
   
2. Who is the potential audience for your project?  How might you access that audience?
   
3. What community partners might you work with?  Why? How?
   
4. What skills are you going to need to develop/hone for this project idea?
   
5. What materials might you need?
6. What questions or concerns do you have about your project idea right now?

Background Research

1. Google search your person's name and/or organization.
   
2. Find at least two sources talking about them or their organization.  More is encouraged! One can be the organization's page, the other can be from anything else (I suggest looking for Durango Herald articles). 
   
3. For each source, take notes on the following:
   
   1. ​3 new things you learned about this person/organization
      
   2. 1-2 new interview questions you want to ask them based on what you read.
