Elise's reflection page
Yesterday I ran into valentine at the office and we started talking about what would be a good way for me to present my research. She explained that looking at the Knowledge Source Assessments formatting for the Community Food Systems end of semester projects would be helpful in framing my project.
The main questions are:
- Who produced this?
- Myself and my community partners
- Who appears to be the intended audiences?
- The UFGA, TCALT, Statewide Food Network Conveneing((?) Application due soon if I want to do it)
- What key words do you associate with this source?
- Do we have a description/summary?
- Brief summary notes on how this knowledge appears to be useful and/or credible:
- What seems important, meaningful, surprising, or potentially problematic about this knowledge being shared?
- If you think that this would be good as a part of a longer learning module , please note what kind of learning it could contribute to:
- Thoughts on how to deal with potential problems with this knowledge source, or challenges to it circulating in public? (Can you think of other knowledge sources to connect to it -Or further questions to ask, or examples of how it has already been used -to make it more likely to be used?)
- Related Resources to list along with this:
- Where is the long- term location of where this information can be found?
So the next step is for me to work on answering these questions and look at the application for the Statewide Food Network Convening!

For the last week two weeks or so(It has been confusing since I have been gone on long weekend trips July 31- August 2, then August 5-8 which has made planning confusing. Then again I will be gone August 11-15) I have been struggling to think about how to demonstrate what I have been up to this summer. I have been wondering about how to demonstrate the diversity of things that I have been involved, making something that is helpful/giving back to the community partners that I have worked with, and making an acceptable deliverable for my research. But after talking with Louie and the other students doing research under the sustainability grant, talking with the Macalester-Bethel-Hamline Students doing work in the Rondo neighborhood and working in gardens, and after the meeting with the Urban Farm and Garden Alliance about making signs for the gardens in the Alliance, I have come up with a few ways to demonstrate my work and learning in a way that demonstrates the diversity of it.
Here is what I came up with:
- Make a small page on the Sustainability Google site about my project
- Make a scalar page with pathways to pages describing what I did/learned with this organization and links to organizations' website
- Interview gardeners at the Rice Street Gardens and make a poster of their stories
- Collaborate with UFGA, Nate Galloway, and Macalester-Bethel-Hamline Students to make signs for the UFGA gardens
I am working on a google doc of plans and thoughts to help me make an outline of the organizations I have worked with, connections I have made, things I have read, etc. I am hoping to embed the google doc into the Scalar page:
https://docs.google.com/a/hamline.edu/document/d/1urE4msbRixX1C79CfN-4EQOMZdxSNyndI26S2TxM6qI/edit?usp=sharing
Oh I got it to work! Check it out on the "Plans and Thoughts" page.
After I finish the outline I am thinking that I will start making pages in scalar for each category
