melissanem great paper topic

Quote From: melissanem

I am a senior year college student(have  been working on this bachelors degree fro 25 years!) and will start the Ph.D program next year. I would like to do some work on the people/the rescuers of hurricanes. I had this idea last week and was glad to see you guys did something with it. 

I haven't been able to locate any peer-reviewed journal articles on this subject. Do you know of any published work? Is there any way I couldwork with you on this? 

Thank you for your time. 

Rather than look for your information on this actual heading "people/rescuers of hurricanes" maybe you should just look for the topics or subject of hurricanes or natural dissasters & see what information is given on the survivors with in the context of those journal articles or maybe you can get the names of particular hurricanes & go to articles on them.  I think 1 that was huge down in NO was named Carmel.  I might be spelling it incorrectly but this was of the same size of Katrina & I'd think there are articles on that one.  Good luck with the paper & congrats to you on sticking with your education.

If you're serious about doing research, you need to familiarize yourself with some key research databases.  If you are unfamiliar with them now, you'll need to get there if you're going to get into any PhD program.  Here's a start -- try the Inter-University Consortium on Political and Social Research database at www.icpsr.umich.edu
