Abstract

In writing about the currere journeys of my biographical subject and me, I share the research process with the reader. This 

involved a road trip to the research epicenter, Providence, Rhode Island. The writing is presented in narrative form, weaving together the 

distance of the theory, the warmth of the photographs and the experiences of the writer.
