I met with my mentor on April 3rd by phone, for about 45 minutes, because he was stuck in Baltimore with terrible weather. I’ve been a little bit behind in my research project because of things happening in my life outside of school, but it was a productive meeting where I updated him on some decisions I had made. I was intending to analyze three agreements within my case of the Northern Ireland conflict, but due to time constraints and my outside issues, I decided I would only be able to do two agreements. We agreed on the Good Friday Agreement and the Sunningdale Agreement, because St. Andrews is usually treated by the literature as simply an addition to the Good Friday Agreement. As a result, I had been having a very difficult time finding sources about it. Now that my research is mostly done, I’m looking forward to filling in my chart of operationalizing questions and actually conducting the analysis.
