I plan to perform research both in Seattle over the summer and in Berlin. This will provide me with a comparison for my Berlin data. Also, the interviews and survey I will hopefully be administering will be equivalent and interchangeable (the same data will be collected from each. I will use whichever is more appropriate under the circumstances).
