Visual (Research Blog #6)


This is the cover of a book I am using as a source in my paper. It includes various important details, including statistics, statements on the lack of attention paid to the issues of food and housing insecurity, and reasons why students are still experiencing food and housing insecurity despite the availability of federal assistance through various programs.


I plan on quoting the book in my presentation because of how well it expresses the depth of the problems of food and housing insecurity and lack of awareness of the issue. The quotes is, 

“The best estimates suggest that food insecurity affects as many as one in two college students (three times the rate in the general population); just as many strug­gle with housing insecurity, and a significant number are homeless. Yet this remains a largely invisible prob­lem, hidden from public view. ... But it is time to get real and admit that we in higher education have a serious prob­lem” (Food Insecurity on Campus: Action and Intervention viii)


Since this quote is somewhat long, I will probably use the image of the book cover as a placeholder instead of including the whole quote. Additionally, the empty plate shown on the cover is a common symbol for hunger, which could help the audience understand what I am talking about and what an aspect of food insecurity is.
