i think school just might kill me. but alas... i will most likely survive.
i think that this has been one of my hardest and most stressful semesters EVER, fitting i suppose since it is my last (of my undergrad). i have so many papers to write... ugh! a couple that have to be in the ten page range and then some smaller papers in the three to five page range, too. i hope i can get them all done. i would much rather have tests than papers.
while we are on the subject of papers... i need your help! i am combining my sports paper and my deviance paper into one paper (with the permission of both professors of course), so that i have two big papers instead of three. i have to write a proposal about what research project i would do if i got a big grant, but multiple research questions are swimming (or maybe drowning) in my head.
do you have any ideas??
what would your dream research project be concerning deviance and sports?
i asked jeremy and he said that he would never have a dream research project.
so helpful sweetheart.

Ditto to Courtney. That's exactly what popped into my mind too.
I remember combining papers that last semester as well. So many papers! You could research whether kids who play sports are less likely to be deviant, based off of the premise that kids who do stuff after school are less likely to become deviant.
Hi Katie, just catching up on your blog. Interesting topic. So I would argue that deviance is actually a large part of sports. Being able to deceive, fake out, or misdirect your opponent in sports is not only accepted, but admired (think head fake in basketball). This is generally known as gaming ethics as oppose to real life ethics. So given how athletes are encouraged to do this, do this deviant traits have exhibit themselves in the non-sports aspects of their lives compared to non-athletes? So as an actual research project, how far can you push athletes into doing deviant/deceptive behavior (nothing harmful) compared to a control group of non-athletes. Good luck!
