Who are we?

Folks may have been wondering who we are - so I thought it was time to offer a formal introduction.  Dr. Chris Fink is our fearless academic leader.  You can read more about him in his formal biography on the Ohio Wesleyan website.  (An exciting note - he just received tenure this week!  Woo-hoo!)  As you know, my name is Kimberlie Goldsberry and I will serve as the trip assistant and you can learn more about my role at OWU by visiting here.

I am most excited about sharing information about the students in our class.  They have already been learning a great deal about qualitative research methods and are exploring their own food philosophies.  This weekend they are venturing out to local groceries and supermarkets for their first observation experience.  So, who are these brilliant minds . . .

• Brianna Barnes, Senior from South Point, OH
• Tucker Fontanella, Junior from Stafford Springs, CT
• Kaitlin Lentz, Senior from Somerset, OH 
• Emily LaTourneau, Junior from Arlington Heights, IL
• Mary McNeal, Senior from Delaware, OH
• Jenna Periandri, Freshman from Spencer, OH
• Sara Scinto, Freshman from Mentor, OH
• Kathryn Sponseller, Junior from Berea, OH

Now that the introductions are over, look for more posts about what we are learning in class and the progress on our research!

Until our next post!  Ciao!
