Invitation to Women of Meadowlark

November 5^th, 2013

Dear Women of Meadowlark,

We would like to invite you to participate in our project titled, “Women’s Roles through Time.” We will connect 16 women, 8 residents at Meadowlark and 8 college students, to explore generational differences. We will gather information through conversational storytelling and differences in cuisine. The project involves four meetings:

1.      Tuesday, November 19^th, 3:00 Living Room – We would like to get to know you and do a short interview about your perception of how women’s roles have changed.

2.      Thursday, November 21^st, 12:30-1:30 Manhattan Room – You will find someone you connect with to be your partner and have conversation over coffee.

3.      Between November 21st and December 10th – Meet with your partner to cook! You and your partner will write down the recipe and document the process through photographs. Learn about each other through collaborative cooking and sharing a meal together!

4.      Tuesday, December 10^th, Between 1-3 individually scheduled meetings – We will meet at Meadowlark for final interviews to ask what you learned about the generation of college students and collect your documentation of cooking together. In the end, your recipe could possibly enter a larger cookbook inspired by a variety of people from Manhattan.

Please RSVP to let me know if you are willing and interested in participating. We would like eight participants and if you are not able we will reach out to more. Please contact Lauren at lkarle@ksu.edu or call me at ***-***-****.

Sincerely,

Lauren Karle and Stephanie Boal
