How about this for an idea, since you are interested in recreation. What do older Mormons do for recreation? You could watch at the conference, do a survey of people you meet, but then you might have to get some kind of ethics approval. <br /><br />Here is my take on it:<br />1. they go on missions together -- sometimes 3 or more<br />2. they do genealogy<br />3. do they go to conferences together -- Sunstone or MHA and is this even recreation?<br />4. Is there a specific Mormon profile here? Do Mormons do something different than the general populations for recreation. I am interested because I ask my friends what they are going to do when they retire, or what they do now that they are retired and have spare time. I think there is a thesis wrapped up in there somewhere, which you could start investigating by going to this conference. That is the best idea I have to get your department to fund you to the conference. A pretty poor start.<br /><br />Perhaps you should just stick with the thesis you already have and skip the conference.<br /><br />ArtaArta Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07329194629476229822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8784798779972837102.post-46733591681466145212012-05-07T00:37:50.853-06:002012-05-07T00:37:50.853-06:00Soooo jealous!
