Hi Heather What a fascinating assignment. Reading between the lines I'd say the action you are taking now is part of your learning. I think you could take the assignment word by word and generate a lot of questions to find out what you are looking for. Some questions about the researcher such as do I need face to face time with this person? If you do then where you live or where you can go is a factor. Then what would a researcher need to make spending time with me worthwhile? The research methods you already know can be applied to the assignment in the first instance to get a starting point. I'm sitting on my impulse to do this for you which is one of my besetting sins. I couldn't think of how to phrase an open enough question to get you started but here is one. What does 'work with' mean? You might also examine your own post to see what words you have used which do not appear in the specifications. Good luck. Joan Riches
