Dear all,
Below are the structure and instructions of Assignment 3:
Assignment 3 – in 800 words, reveal what has emerged from your four interviews. Focus on four main themes. This will be a methodological report. The assignment will be graded on three rubrics: Coherence (30%), ethnographic appropriateness (50%), grammar, spelling, and length (20%).
Worth 20% of your final grade
MON Oct 28, 8 AM
Meant to test your ability to appraise the cultural and social diversity of Europe
For now, you need to focus on what sorts of questions you will ask in your interviews. You need to interview four people, ideally face to face, and ask each person eight questions. Send me your questions for feedback asap (ideally before this upcoming Tuesday). When you submit the paper, submit the questions and each person’s answers too (anonymized). It is up to you who you interview (maybe you want to know how much consumers know about the industry or product you are researching, maybe you want to know how much employees know, maybe you are interested in the beliefs of higher management). Either way, your research questions should relate to your topic this semester, so they need to reflect the fact that you are thinking about: (1) the actual origin of the product/practice/industry and (2) whether or not the people you’re interviewing are aware of, and sharing your ethical concerns about this product/practice/industry, and its history.
The 800 words of the paper will be structured into eight 100 word paragraphs, as follows:
Introduction: Reason for studying this topic, and very briefly, what the interviews reveal (a short summary of the rest of the paper)
Literature: What literature are you using and how it links to your findings. Make sure you use two authors from our readings
Findings: Expand on the themes revealed in the interview – tell your reader what four themes came up in your conversations – it can either be one theme per interview or four generic themes that come up from all the interviews
Theme 1: Talk about the theme and expand on it
Theme 2: Talk about the theme and expand on it
Theme 3: Talk about the theme and expand on it
Theme 4: Talk about the theme and expand on it
Conclusions: What can we learn from the interviews you conducted?
Please attach your interview questions and answers for each of the interviewees at the end of the paper.
The literature review in particular is going to be important. You have to use concepts/ideas/arguments from two articles we read so far (it can also be any of the articles we worked through in class, as long as you paraphrase them accordingly). This paragraph is supposed to give you the theoretical lens for your article: for example, we didn’t know there is a racial logic, that has been developing for over 100 years, in the ways western Europeans interact with other people until we talked about it in class, so if this is an idea you use to think about your topic, you should give credit to the author of the idea, as it is not yours. The fact that you use two articles we discussed in class does not mean you do not have to reference authors of all other ideas that are not your own. Plagiarism is something we criticize heavily in this class, through everything we discuss, so giving credit to the people who deserve it needs to be at the core of our concerns!
