Final Reflective Blog

I have learned many things in this class over the semester but the most important things that I learned was what can bring communities together such as the arts or dedication to community involvement. I also learned how a community's identity can evolve and change over time like how the peoples image of Station North slowly started to change after it was designated as an Arts district. I think my strongest contributions to the course project was how i worked together with other students to listen through, took notes on, transcribed, as well as pulled relevant and useful themes from some of the interviews that were conducted by other members of the class. I think that this is a strong contribution since the notes that i and the other students took helped make it possible as well as easier for Dan and Adam to create a sort of narrative let alone something from the many interviews that were collected. However despite what I learned and what I contributed taking this class was an amazing experience that i am sure not to forget.
