Ethnography course
Posted on April 04, 2003 @ 11:08 in Research
I just finished teaching a course in which the students did a research on representation and identity on family home pages; the final presentations are due this afternoon. Some of the home page authors reacted surprised that their website would be of interest to anyone, especially a researcher. Of course I know there are some people out there (occasionally) reading this weblog and it has been referenced as a "resource" in some course books, but I guess I feel the same kind of surprise as the home page authors in my students' research to find my site referenced on a page that appears to be part of a student assignment. (Hey Jill, you're in there too!) Curious too, to know what someone looking at the site with an analytic gaze, rather than someone here 'just' for the content, will read into my writings. So, feel free to drop me a line if you have a question about the site; I'd love to hear how the course is going :-)
Assignment or not, the page is part of a truly mouth watering course description: Ethnography of On-Line Role-Playing Games. The reading list looks solid and there are some articles I didn't know, so I guess those need to be added to my to-read-stack, which is actually two stacks, precariously balancing on the edge of my desk... I wish there had been a course like this one before I embarked on my own research.

Since MT-Blacklist inexplicably stopped working I had no other recourse than close comments and trackbacks to stop the spam. I've been meaning to correct this for quite a while, but life got in the way... in a good way I should add.
