at least 200 Words. For this forum, I'd like to get you started on thinking about the topic of your final project. It is not due until May 5th, but it is not too early to try to brainstorm about what you might want to do your ethnographic fieldwork project on. Full instructions on how to do the fieldwork project are posted to Moodle under "Final Project Instructions" this week, but to summarize, this is a 10-page fieldwork-based study of a cultural group or cultural phenomenon in which you act as a participant observer of the group. For example, past projects have included studies of sorority life at Woodbury, studio culture on campus (architecture or fashion design, e.g.), the life of local homeless people, Armenian weddings, fieldwork about where students work, such as Home Depot, and so on. The topic just needs to be one where you can observe and talk to people in the ethnographic tradition to paint a picture of their life as it is lived. So the Forum for this week is to post some ideas about what you might do for your final project.
