Going back, going back...

Hello World!  I know it's been awhile...
Here's the deal in a pinch--(leaving to the airport super soon. No, I haven't eaten anything since last night. No, I didn't realize it was Tisha B'av when I booked my flight. Yes, I'll check a calendar next time.)
I'm heading back to Uganda for my third summer in a row, but this one's a little different: I'll be doing hardcore, official research for my senior thesis!  My first stop is back in Nabugoye, where I will be talking to people about religious identity and expression, but that's not all....I'll also be heading to Gathundia, Kenya, with my friend Samson (check out my last post for more about him...), to visit his community and do some comparative ethnographic research on religious identity in the two communities.
This trip will be fast--I fly back August 29.  This will probably mean less blog time, and perhaps less info-packed posting, as now that I'm fully IRB approved I'm also trying to be extra-special careful about what I write in a public forum.  But for those of you who may be interested in learning a bit more, or just hearing what my brain sounds like after trying to process conversations and thoughts into thesis-able data, feel free to check back!
Thanks for those who followed last time, and hope I can send a little more your way in the next month :).
(P.S. For those of you who were confused by the title, it's a reference to a silly Princeton song.)
