Ethnographic field study: For this assignment, you will conduct a 1-hour observation on 2 different dates. The observations will be conducted at the same place, on the same day of the week, and at the same time of day, in a diverse setting such as a place of worship, a public high school, a college campus, a political gathering, or a sporting event. Before you conduct your observations, you will write an explanation of your predispositions of how you think people will behave in this setting.
For example, if you were to choose a church for your observations, do you have any foregone conclusions about how the people there will participate in the service, treat each other, treat their children, and treat you? Come up with your own theories, and then test your theory through actively observing (interacting when appropriate) within the context of the setting.
Assignment Guidelines
