Round Up of Ethnographies

With your group, spend 10 minutes preparing an informal briefing for the class on the ethnography you went over for homework. Your briefing should be about 2 minutes; not all group members need speak during this briefing but your talk should have some discernible order and be helpful to the class in understanding how evidence, subjectivity, and medium are negotiated in ethnography. You may put together a PowerPoint if you find that helpful.

Some questions you might want to consider follow.

1. What was this ethnography about?
2. How was it conducted?
3. Who is the intended audience of ethnography? How can we tell?
4. What were the biases/subjectivities/assumptions/authorities of the ethnographer(s) in relation to the subjects? In relation to the audience?
5. What is the delivery format? How does it get to its audience? How does that matter?
6. What are some "good" things about this ethnography? What are some "bad" things?
7. What are some things we can learn from this ethnography - as positive or negative examples- to help with our digital ethnography?
