W: Dr. Zarelli?
M: Hello, Karen. How are you?
W: Pretty good, thanks. I was hoping ... um ... we could talk about the project that's due at the end of May.
M: Of course. What can I do for you?
W: Well ... the project plan ... that part's due next week, right?
M: Uh ... I believe that's right. Let me look at the syllabus. I tend to forget dates unless I have them right in front of me. Uh ... yes, that's right, the first due date--the project plan--is due next week, on Monday, May 3.
W: I'm a little--I'm not sure about what you want. Do you just ... uh ... what exactly should the plan look like?
M: Well, a description--a summary of your project. A short description of the topic and a summary of your materials and methods and what you hope to accomplish.
W: I have an idea ... um ... it's something that interests me. But I'm not sure if-I don't know whether it fits the assignment. It's not about marketing as much as--it has more to do with social change.
M: Let's try it on for size. Tell me your idea.
W: Well, my boss--I work part-time at a credit union-- and my boss is a person who's done a lot of different things. She used to be the president of an organization that helped set up cooperatives for women artisans in India. They make clothes mostly, and things like tablecloths and toys. She's really interesting--my boss, I mean--and so are the stories about her work. I guess you could say she works for economic development, but also for social change because it's work that affects women and their role in society.
M: Can you tell me more about the organization?
W: Sure. They're called Hearts and Hands. I looked at their Web site. They have a motto, "Changing views, changing lives," and their mission statement is "To empower artisans by providing economic opportunities and exposure to new ideas." My boss was the president for five years, and she's still on their board of directors.
M: Hmm. And what would you like to do with all this?
W: Well, I'd like to interview my boss--a more formal interview--and write about her work with Hearts and Hands.
M: OK, and ...?
W: I could do a case study about a group that works for both economic and social change. I could combine the interview data with information from their Web site.
M: It would also be a good idea to link some of your findings with the theories and models we've discussed in class.
W: Oh, like, for example, their product catalog? They have a printed catalog, and it's also online.
M: Great idea! You could include an analysis and evaluation of their catalog. I have to say, Karen, you've got a fairly solid plan here. Your idea of a case study of an economic development organization is a good one, and it fits right in with our course content. All you need to do now is put down your plan on paper.
W: Really? I'm so glad to hear you say that! I'll do it then. I'll write it up for next week. Thank you, Dr. Zarelli. You've been a great help!
M: It's my pleasure. Glad you stopped by.
