expanding our contact zones project.

I am interested in the contacts that Bryn Mawr students face through their means of exchange, such as the free boxes in the dorms and the "for sale or free!" facebook change. These contacts can be analyzed through the lens of gift giving and reciprocal exchange, and the project can be expanded to where the items originated from and how they circulate through market and non market means of exchange between Bryn Mawr students. I am also interested in analyzing the effects of indirect contact and face to face contact. I am not sure what the goal or details of the project will be, but possibly something on how all of these factor into the Bryn Mawr community or non-community. The project can also be extended to other exchanges in Bryn Mawr, such as the dining hall and contact zones with food production.
