After countless changes to my research question I believe I found the one! For my paper I plan to research the connection between homelessness and mental illness. Gerard’s interview inspired me to go beyond what I know and to explore new curiosities. Sometimes focusing on a topic you’ve explored or done research on already can block your ability to see pass what your prior knowledge. Now knowing that ignorance can be the best tool in research, I’ve became inspired in learning more and making new observations about a topic that so many people in America are experiencing today. To refine my topic and to condense my research, I chose to highlight the employment barriers homeless people with mental illness experience. Ultimately making an intersection between money concerns and one’s health. This intersection allows me to expand, while also focusing my research for my paper. There won’t be any new changes in my future because “Homelessness and Mental Illness in the Workplace” is the topic I’ve chosen.
