IA Research Panel – 2/21/21

The IA Research Panel featuring Lizzie Bateman, Dani Wollerman, and Sandhya was very informative for me and helped me learn about the different types of research students are involved in on campus! I am also involved as a Research Assistant with the Ohio State Department of Economics and the Neuroeconomics Lab, but the research work I am doing is much different from the involvements of Lizzie, Dani and Sandhya. Lizzie has been researching on how food insecurity has been affected during the pandemic and how foodbanks and nonprofit organizations have had to shift their responses based on the pandemic with the OSU Society of Undergraduate Fellows. Dani has been researching the experience of Refugee women in central Ohio with the Undergraduate Research Library, which is a really interesting interesting and relevant issue to study for us in Columbus. Sandhya has been involved in research with the OSU Department of Sociology, where she studied the immigration backgrounds of Uber and Lyft drivers, along with studying single moms and children in Nicaragua. The experiences of Lizzie, Dani and Sandhya have taught me about opportunities I can utilize on campus to fund my research, especially a thesis, which is something I want to do in the future and shown me other avenues on campus I can get involved in research through.
