Ethnography Mapping

My group (Farrah, Stefani, and I) met at the Atkins Library to start our ethnography project. We decided that we are doing our project on relationships: boyfriend and girlfriends and friendships. We started by talking about some things that we’d liked to focus on: the difference between relationships on and off campus. For our off campus location we chose the U Walk apartments, and for our on campus location we chose the courtyard between Sanford and Moore Hall. We also wrote down a couple of interview questions we might ask at a different time. They’re on my daybook picture.

After leaving the library, we went to the courtyard to observe some relationships. We didn’t have too much luck because it kind of was an awkward time, 10 am. But we noticed a couple holding hands, and some groups of friends walking together.

Next time we will have to go at a better hour because they're really wasn't anyone around.

Then we went over to U Walk and we watched some friends hang out, a couple outside holding hands, some people were playing volleyball, and one guy was on his porch listening to music.

                                               We were able to watch a couple talk.

 

So that sums it up, next time in the courtyard we will have to go at a better time.
