It's the end of the world as we know it, and we still don't know much about people.
Most social and medical science research has been conducted by and with college-educated men of European heritage. Most novels, histories, plays, and film scripts have been written by and about middle- and upper-class men of European heritage.
Most people, however, are not college educated, middle class, of European heritage, or men (that's right; women are at least 51% of most populations.)
To shed a little light on how the other 95% live, I originally aimed to interview a woman a day while on my trip. I am about 80% compliant with my own plan. Some days, I am just too tired or short of daylight to interview people. Other days, a man catches my ear and he becomes my day's participant.
I always get my participants' consent to share their videos and to analyze their answers for larger trends. In an effort to control the distribution of their images, though, I am not sharing their interviews on this blog just yet.
To all y'all interviewees: Thank you for sharing your time and thoughts with me. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns: conner.alana@gmail.com
