Hi all,
I am a graduate student in the geography department at the University of
Minnesota, currently conducting research on perceptions of nature and
transformation of place through the inscription of meaning. I grew up in
Boiling Springs, PA and spent considerable time on the Appalachian trail in
Cumberland Valley as a child and teenager. As it played a large role in my
own life, I am interested in understanding the relationship that others of any generation, particularly thru-hikers, have had with both the space of the trail and with other hikers encountered along it.
I would like to interview several people who have completed hiking the trail about their experience. Is there anyone out there interested in infoming this research as an interviewee? The interviews would be conducted by phone and consist of about 8 questions and will take approximately 15-20
minutes.
Please email me or respond directly to this post if you would be willing to share your experiences.
Thanks for your time!
Sincerely,
Elizabeth R. Johnson
