reflection on writing circle 5

Today the group discussed where they are in the process of writing their research papers and how they plan to integrate their personal experiences into the historical research of their papers.  I did get an understanding of how some people will integrate these two aspects in their papers, and I think it would be informing and interesting to read their final work.  I appreciated support for overcoming my current frustrations in the brainstorming process, and the attention a member gave to a previous post of mine.  I do wish there was an opportunity to discuss with someone the information I found on Ellen Richards though, as I found it very intriguing.
