What I did and what I learned about my topic, activism, social justice work or civil and human rights work from this fieldwork?[:: :

My group and I had the wonderful opportunity to interview Kevin Samuelson who is the CEO of Infor and his Executive Assistant Laurie Forbes. We interviewed them on this topic because Infor recently had a sexual harassment case inside of their office. Kevin Samuelson and Laurie Forbes were very helpful because they helped us get not only a better understanding of sexual harassment in the workplace but why it happens.

During our interview we found out that in most cases of sexual harassment in the workplace it is a higher/more superior member harassing a new or a lower member. While we couldn’t ask very many questions about the case that took place at their office, we asked what we could. For me personally, I learned so much more and it was so much fun going into an office were we got to interview people about our topic. It was super interesting to get two people in the workplace’s opinions as well as new information. I am forever grateful to Kevin Samuelson and Laurie Forbes for allowing my group and I to interview them on this subject.
