research project thoughts

After my conference I made up my mind finally what I would like to do for my research project. I would like to research how writing effect/help women that have been in abusive relationships. I want find out things such as

·         Does keeping a journal help with the healing process of what you have been through

·         Being in a wring group- does is make these women feel more powerful because they can control what they write and what goes on in the group

·         Would any of them like the start their own writing group

I plan on going to centers that house battered women and I plan to find out some of the following

·         Ask if I can give a survey with various questions about their experiences

·         Ask if I can sit in on one a session of some sort

·         Observe a writing group

I am not too sure of all the methods I want to use. I know I will be using auto/biographical methods and ethnographic methods
