As I
graduate in August, I have no specific academic plans that apply to my Field
Study, though I have the possible option of presenting my field work at BYU
Inquiry Conference hosted by Field Studies in Winter 2013. However, I do have long-term goals of
continuing with graduate studies in the field of American Studies and I think
this Field Study research will help me have an experience that is particular to
my interests and that may stand apart in my graduate studies applications. Furthermore, I hope that this experience will
inform future decisions and interests, particularly as it applies to what I
decide to study in a future graduate career.
What I hope
for most in following through with this Field Study, however, is that it will
give me experience and inspiration for how to apply the skillsets needed for
cross-cultural studies and immersion to everyday life. I would like to continue to travel
internationally, and I would like to continue taking into account the benefits
and limitations of each culture I come in contact with, including my own, as I
develop cross-cultural relationships. I
also hope this experience to enrich me creatively, and give me inspiration for
those creative outlets which I crave. I
hope that the experiences I have on my Field Study, the work I do, and
especially the writing I do will continue to shape and hone my publishable
work.
