About Research

Research requires us to be flexible and adaptable so we can persevere through roadblocks. Research is iterative, not linear. This means as we gather information, we may also be refining our research topic or question. Research can be messy but exciting. It requires time, patience and perseverance. If you need assistance at any step of the way, just email (ahulsebe@gustavus.edu) or schedule a research appointment with Anna Hulseberg.
