I am very interested in food and the restaurant industry, and have a dream to someday own and operate my own restaurant or catering business. I would therefore like to research the history of the restaurant industry in Davidson, North Carolina. I would be investigating the history of establishments that thrived in Davidson, and investigating why those that left Davidson or failed met different fates. Included in this project might be a side-investigation of the history of Vail Commons, where I eat and am a paid employee.<\/p>\n

If this doesn’t work because it is not closely enough tied to communication technology, I could also research the history of food laws in North Carolina.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Another possible topic of study is rather quirky (but that is what keeps me interested!) I was surprised the other day when my friend, who is an international student from China, remarked that, \u201cnobody in China goes to the gym like people in America!\u201d I was inspired by this comment to think about the history of the \u201cwork-out\u201d and \u201cbodybuilding\u201d culture in America, and the spread of gyms. I would have to narrow this topic down and relate it somehow to communication. I could possibly study the advertisement campaigns that contribute to this focus on body image in our culture.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

My third possible topic is the history of the post office at Davidson College. I could talk about its beginnings, i.e. where it was first located, and about its expansion as the college grew. I could also investigate whether or not the post office played a significant role in the college’s expansion.<\/p>\n
