Blog # 14 Interview Prep

For this interview, you will prepare 10 open-ended questions that focus on your newly approved EQ (in fact, your first question can be your EQ). Remember, all interviews must be done in person unless they are specifically approved by your house teacher. Additionally, one person may be interviewed a maximum of two times.

 1. Who do you plan to interview? What is this person's area of expertise?
I plan to interview Nancy Neiman. Her area of expertise is political science and she leads two courses on food justice.

 2. Verify that you have called your interviewee to schedule an interview. What is the date and time of the interview?
 I have talked to her in person before the interview post came out, and I am waiting till next week to schedule an interview because classes are starting up again for the college she works at. 

3. Phrase an open-ended question that will help you find research resources that would help to answer the EQ.
What are some of the models scientists are working on to help limit the food gap?

 4. Phrase an open-ended question that will help you think about other useful activities you might do to help you answer the EQ (IC2, possible experts to talk to, etc).
 What types of projects would you suggest I work on to get hands on experience with my topic? 

5. Phrase two open-ended questions that help you to understand your interviewee's perspective on an aspect of your EQ.
 How did you get involved in the food justice branch?
Why did you choose the locations you did to start up programs to help people that are food insecure?

Do you feel that there is a truly perfect model of a world with no hunger?
Have you personally been able to bring your food waste down to zero?
