Ethnographic Observations
You are required to write two ethnographic observations (3-4 pages, double space) during the semester. Ethnographic observations are ‘thick description’ that is describing a social phenomenon in its multiplicities of meanings. In order to write a good observation you need to first choose a field site, a particular locality, it can be a bazaar, a hospital, or a tea shop. Observe by using all your five senses that is perceive the environment by using sight, hearing, smell, touch, and taste. Good ethnographic observations are usually like a photographic image. It transports a reader into the scene. Hence remember to edit and proof read properly. Make sure you use the write sentence structure, grammar, and composition. I would strongly encourage to get assistance from the EHSAS Writing Center. Things to remember:
- Identify a location, time, situation clearly in the beginning.
- Do not just list items that you see with your eyes.
- Build a coherent narrative style.
