My Interview Subjects

In this post, I'll be describing the people I'm scheduled to interview next week. Oh, and I've changed my desired field to law. Fourth time's the charm.

1. I am scheduled to interview Katherine Barnes and Jane Bambauer.

2. Both of these women work for the James E. Rogers College of Law at the University of Arizona. Bambauer is an Associate Professor of Law and Barnes is a Professor of Law, Director of the Rogers Program on Law and Society, and an Associate Professor of Economics.

3. Barnes has a J.D. from the University of Michigan Law School and a Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota, School of Statistics. Bambauer has a J.D. from Yale Law School.

4. Barnes has been working in the field for fifteen years, and Bambauer for nine.

5.

Jane Bambauer

Katherine Barnes

6. My interview with Bambauer is scheduled for 11:15 this Monday morning, and my interview with Barnes for 2:30 this Friday afternoon.

7. Questions for Bambauer

• What's it like working here at the College of Law?
• As a (technically undecided) freshman, I'm curious to know- how/when did you know that law was what you wanted to do? Defining moment?
• How did you decide that you wanted to come to Tucson to work for this University in particular?
• What took you from California to Brooklyn and then to Tucson?
• How do you decide what to write about? Things you find interesting, are passionate about, etc? 
• How do you decide how/when to do a collaborative writing?
• How do you conduct your research, and how do you use the link between data and the relationships that interest you? (education/career)
• Your biography says that you write for the Huffington Post- how did you get started doing that and what do you write about? 

Questions for Barnes

• What's it like working here at the College of Law?
• As a (technically undecided) freshman, I'm curious to know- how/when did you know that law was what you wanted to do? Defining moment?
• How did you decide that you wanted to come to Tucson to work for this University in particular?
• How do you decide what to write about? Things you find interesting, are passionate about, etc? 
• How do you decide how/when to do a collaborative writing?
• What was it like being a law clerk for Sonia Sotomayor? 
• What was it like to be a visiting professor abroad in Chile? 
• Many of your writings seem to consider today's issues of racial profiling and things associated with it. In this way would you say you're incorporating an interest/passion of yours by doing these writings?

I repeated a couple questions, but I did this because they are relevant for both interviewees and these are the sections I want to glean the most information about (for example the writing).
