Instruction
This assignment will require you to interview an individual belonging to a
minority group for approximately 30 minutes. Minority group in this assignment
includes individuals limited in their physical abilities, individuals belonging to ethnic or
racial minorities, or individuals with non-heterosexual orientations. The interview will
revolve around your interviewees sport and physical activity experiences. So, for the sake
of a successful assignment, make sure your participant has at least some memorable
experience in this area. then, you will pore over your interview notes and recording in order to analyze them.
Using the readings from class, as well as three outside academic sources (journal article,
book chapter, etc. that were not used in the first analysis) you will write a three-page
synthesis of your analysis. The short essay will include larger themes you
identified during your observation, and you will attempt to find connections to our
readings as well as provide your own thoughts, perhaps unsupported by research, in the
analysis. You will turn in a copy of your field notes along with your essay.
