- [00:00:00.750]Hello everyone,
- [00:00:01.620]My name is Elaine (indistinct),
- [00:00:02.880]and I'm a recent graduate from the University
- [00:00:05.700]of Nebraska Lincoln with a major in integrated sciences
- [00:00:09.000]and a concentration in agricultural economics.
- [00:00:11.970]This summer, I was one
- [00:00:13.140]of the rural fellas working with rural housing.
- [00:00:16.288]I worked with Dr. Mary Emery,
- [00:00:18.570]who is the director of RPN.
- [00:00:20.850]So we worked on issues affecting rural housing.
- [00:00:24.828]We did a literature review looking
- [00:00:27.450]into what other researchers have worked
- [00:00:30.390]on when it comes to rural housing.
- [00:00:33.150]We looked into the terms like
- [00:00:36.108]rural sustainability, workforce immigration, and how
- [00:00:39.957]all those factors are affecting rural housing in general.
- [00:00:44.340]We also touched on modular housing and looking
- [00:00:47.340]into how that can be applied into rural communities
- [00:00:50.880]and how affordable and applicable that type of housing is.
- [00:00:57.614]That's one of a few keywords we looked into.
- [00:01:01.710]So in addition, we interviewed people
- [00:01:04.140]from rural communities that was directly involved
- [00:01:07.320]with different projects,
- [00:01:11.580]different rural housing projects, to kind of see what worked
- [00:01:14.790]and what didn't work.
- [00:01:15.870]We interviewed them to get an understanding of,
- [00:01:20.610]if a project was success, what made it a success?
- [00:01:23.854]And if it didn't work, why?
- [00:01:26.820]Why they think it did not work?
- [00:01:29.310]So with that, we kind of gained
- [00:01:30.990]a perspective of
- [00:01:35.948]what leaders in rural housing are thinking.
- [00:01:38.460]And kind of gain a little bit of experience
- [00:01:42.060]on what worked.
- [00:01:45.030]This project it is important
- [00:01:46.380]for the future of the communities
- [00:01:48.210]because we're hoping
- [00:01:49.340]to create something that would help communities looking
- [00:01:54.480]towards achieving rural housing sustainability.
- [00:01:56.970]They could have something to look at,
- [00:01:58.920]something to base onto when creating those projects.
- [00:02:01.800]So by looking at probably what worked in other communities,
- [00:02:05.700]they could get a sense of what they could do
- [00:02:08.040]in the future, or what they could avoid
- [00:02:12.689]to make the housing sustainability a success.
- [00:02:15.960]As an inclusive leader,
- [00:02:17.130]this experience has been eyeopening
- [00:02:21.390]and influential to me as a researcher.
- [00:02:24.690]And also as an individual, working with Dr. Emery,
- [00:02:27.810]I've been learning every day
- [00:02:29.819]what it means to actually be a researcher.
- [00:02:33.060]What to focus on, what not to focus on.
- [00:02:35.640]And especially in terms of providing interviews,
- [00:02:39.510]I learned what keywords to use.
- [00:02:41.400]So this was definitely a growing experience on my end.
- [00:02:46.500]In addition, I believe
- [00:02:48.510]that this experience will be influential mostly
- [00:02:51.210]in the future
- [00:02:53.168]when I get to enter the workforce
- [00:02:56.580]and actually know -
- [00:02:58.110]I now know what to expect
- [00:03:00.480]in terms of providing results and also being a team player.
- [00:03:05.580]Thank you.
