research successes

On Monday, with the help of a friend, I returned to last week's factory and administered 20 more surveys. Happily, this time things went really really well. Not only was supervisor coaching notably absent this session, I collected (seemingly reliable) data and had a strong response rate.

Then, as icing on the cake, I had a great meeting with someone from the local branch of Amnesty International.

After my disastrous stint in the field last week, it looks as though my research-karma is finally coming up roses...

    Alas, my next project objectives are to:
  • Set up more key informant interviews
  • Complete a creole version of survey tool
  • Make appointments to administer more surveys to workers
  • Schedule interviews with the directors of a new round of companies
  • Review the Mauritian household budget survey and other quantitative studies for insights
