IN-DEPTH ONLINE PROJECT

This was part of a two and a half month project in spring 2009 on gender at Whitworth University. Nearly 60 people were interviewed. I did the writing, video, databases, graphics, coding and some of the photo work for this project.

View the project via a WordPress platform here. The project was originally published through the website of The Whitworthian, the university’s student newspaper.
