We woul probably carry this project forward by talking with more people, getting more viewpoints. We might also bring the issue up to a wider audience to share what we've learned, because many people don't know about the history/progress/barriers of this topic. I feel like it's good to show this to first years, because I'm one of those people who still doesn't know much about the college yet. When we were conducting our research, it felt to me that the contact zone(s) presented by this issue didn't really interact with each other? Like perhaps there was some imagined contact zone (like when people say they're going to fight "the man" but don't have any concrete idea of who they're facing)?
When watching everybody's presentations, I realized that perhaps it wasn't necessarily down to analyzing our expanded contact zone, but relating out contact zone and seeing how it supports other contact zones—for example, contact between us and a shoe company supports the contact zone between the company and the workers that go into the manufacture of the shoe. There are basically an infinite number of contact zones, but everything we do affects each in some way.
