I am trying to answer my post title. I wonder if faculty members get homesick too. That's why my fourth article will be exploring about this. Actually also the reason why I am trying to write about it because I am running out of ideas what to write. But hey, this one could be a good one!
So I have emailed Jette Irgens, Dr. Tamrat Gashaw and Dr. Kunihiko Terasawa. Finally today they replied to my emails (apart from Dr. Gashaw). But I will have my interview with Jette tomorrow at 10:15 right after class and at 1:15 with Dr. Terasawa. at 1:15. Ah, finally I can feel a little relieve about this assignment.
The reason why I am asking these three faculty members because they have lived in the U.S. for a period of time. However I am aware that some of them might not feel homesick at all. That's why here is how I am going to order my questions
1. Where is home to you?
2. How many years have you lived in the United States?
3. Do you think adults or faculty members at Wartburg feel homesick too?
4. Have you ever feel homesick since during work days?
5. What do you usually miss the most when you feel like missing home?
6. What are the things from your home country that you can't find it here in the U.S.?
7. What do you usually do when you miss home?
8. What does home mean to you?

Great idea, I never thought about that angle. It will be interesting to hear their responses. I think both of them have been gone from their home countries for quite a while.
ReplyDeleteThat is an interesting angle. I wonder even if they do not feel homesick now, if they did when they first came here. You could see what they did to cope then.
