This project has a single purpose: (1) the selection of your location for your field site for your ethnography. This
field project is worth 10% of your grade.
Read the instructions for the field research project so you are familiar with what is required of you and what the
final assignment is. This assignment is to help you to get going, to get you to find the location for your study.
You are required to complete a one-page description of your field site. This description gives the instructor an
idea of what type of project you have chosen, where you will be observing, and why you chose the particular
site. It will allow the instructor to work with students who are having trouble locating a site, or who may need to
adjust their research project (note: While this by itself is not graded, non-compliance will have an effect on your
final ethnographic paper). . In the Field Site Description you need to answer the following questions:
1) Where is your field? What is the topic of your ethnographic research? Why did you choose that topic?
2) How will you complete the participant observation portion? Is it easy for you to access the field site? Will
language be an issue? What are the dates and times that you will visit your field site?
3) Do you have an informant? Who might you interview? Who can you get insider information from?
4) What outside materials might you use (websites, reference books, etc.)?
