The last year and a half I have been lucky to be able to choose classes based on interest as opposed to credit requirements. Multiple of those classes have been sociology courses \u2013 many of <em>those <\/em>have been taken with Dr. Krista Lynn Minnotte. This semester, I have been <em>extremely<\/em> lucky to work with Dr. Minnotte in an independent research class as a paid assistant through the <em>Experiential Learning Center.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The research project Dr. Minnotte and I are working on this semester is focused on meaningful work, specifically, <em>who has access<\/em> to meaningful work. So far, we have been reading through a lot of literature trying to get an overview of what is being said. As a student assistant, I have been learning how to self-manage and figure out if research is something that I would potentially be interested in pursuing in my future (which I need to figure out soon \u2013 December is creeping up quick!). I have always been more interested in the theoretical aspect of sociology but working with Dr. Minnotte the past year or two, I am learning to really appreciate the processes of what research projects look and feel like. Overall, I\u2019m just very grateful Dr. Minnotte and the Sociology Department have had the patience to work with me and give me this experience that will absolutely influence my future outside of UND.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Molly Lamb My name is Molly Lamb, and I am in my final semester at UND (hopefully graduating in December!)
