Look at those seasonings! \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Source: Pixabay<\/p><\/div>\n

So, we are going to the Santa Clara University Archives and I need to pick a topic. There are a lot of different topics I could pick from. I could go into the garlic and explore the history of the Santa Clara Mission.<\/a> I could go into the lavender and explore the sports at Santa Clara. I could go into chiles and explore the development of the languages department. \u00a0Or I can go into the chives and explore the role and treatment of women at SCU. \u00a0I am overwhelmed by how many things I could research but\u00a0because I am me…I want to explore something that deals with\u00a0gender equality.<\/p>\n

What a surprise.<\/strong> Source: Public Domain Pictures<\/p><\/div>\n

Obviously this has to be in the context of SCU (just look at Tirabassi’s article which mention the principle of selectivity which is defined as ” the researcher’s understanding of how archivists select and omit artifacts for a given collection”). Clearly, I need to find a source\u00a0in the archive and as an archive they pretty much have sources that are directly related to SCU.<\/p>\n

Back to the Strange Metaphor<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have found my frame- gender- but in order to find my source I could\u00a0dive into the garlic, chiles, and lavender again.<\/p>\n

In the Garlic:<\/em><\/p>\n

I could look at the role of women in the church.<\/p>\n

I could look at the nuns when the mission was active.<\/p>\n

In the\u00a0Lavender:<\/em><\/p>\n

I could look at how women were integrated into sports after they began to be admitted.<\/p>\n

I could look at the feeling of the student body as women began to participate in sports.<\/p>\n

In the\u00a0Chiles:<\/em><\/p>\n

I could look at the role or treatment of women professors or students within the department.<\/p>\n

What I am trying to say is that I could get even more focused if I were to look at specific department or segments of the community.<\/p>\n

Who Knows What I Will Find<\/strong><\/p>\n

Any of these topics would be fascinating to me so whatever I might find in the archive ( a journal, newspaper, yearbook, or letter) I am hopeful that this paper will be interesting to write.<\/p>\n
