Hey I'm Zach and a sophomore at Ohio University.
Project Proposal
Poverty around Athens:
- Objective I purpose to create a Flickr Photo Essay to document different pictures of housing showing class structure of poverty around Athens.
- Interest This is interesting because I grew up in a areas where poverty was not really around so when I see it in Athens it’s a new sight seeing it everyday when I go mountain biking. The different type of housing I see range from size and some are even built out of railroad cars. This is also interesting because you hear about the Appalachia area and poverty in the news. With this in the Athens area will give me many great chances to takes pictures of poverty around the area.
- Background Reading I will read wikipedia, text book and other basic sociology texts on the following topics: poverty, class structure, Appalachia area
- I will also find scholarly research on the general issue of violence in video games and the media. Posting just two links of many I have found here: Frontline: Country Boys, Poverty in Ohio - I will use Google to find popular press discussions of poverty around Athens areas. I will also look at Wikipedia articles, blog entries, and newspaper stories talking about poverty around the Athens areas and how people are living with poverty and also people that are not in poverty how they live next to it.
- General Plan I plan to find between 15-20 houses and other pictures documenting the different type of poverty around the Athens area. I hope to find different areas around Athens that are hit by poverty and try and show the class through my pictures I take. The pictures will show housing and just areas that people live in poverty. With the Flickr essay I will also put at the beginning of the project what I am trying to show my audience and what they are suppose to get out of it.
- Collaborators I plan on working alone during this project.
