Annotated Bib Mini Assignment

3 students at Moore and Sanford Hall Courtyard, Charlotte.  30 Oct 2012. Personal photograph by author. JPEG file.

This picture may be useful for my group’s ethnography project because rather than just describing the groups and relationships between people, we can provide a visual of the relationship. Although, in this case, the three students in this picture aren’t really showing how they interact with one another on campus. I would probably go take a new picture to further explore and exemplify how students on campus interact with one another.

Notes before fieldwork, Charlotte. 30 Oct 2012. Personal photograph by author. JPEG file.

This image allows a reader or instructor to see some of the beginning ideas of my group’s ethnography project. I wrote about some of things I was looking for while looking for on and off campus relationships. This image also has some of my possible interview questions written down. Even though I haven’t conducted an interview yet, having this pre-fieldwork picture not only shows that I intend on doing an interview but also it shows what questions I might ask to students in various relationships and how they interact on and off campus.

Whitmire, Farrah. A couple interacting at University Walk. 30 Oct 2012. JPEG file.

This picture really shows a couple interacting off campus. It visualizes what a couple might look like while interacting off campus. By having this picture for our ethnography project, we can get a better look on how a boyfriend/girlfriend couple acts with one another socially away from the place they receive education. It seems couples act emotionally and physically closer with one another when they are away from, I guess you could call on campus the “work place,” rather than when they are on campus. This picture could help more in the future once we are able to compare and contrast on and off campus couples in more detail.
