Writing about the Culture of a Particular Place The goal of this assignment is to build on the personal narratives in
Assignment #1 and situate them in the context of a larger culture or historical moment by writing a critical ethnography of a “place” in various senses of the word (which we’ll discuss more in class). The secondary goal is to gain exposure to different styles of basic research, from the “traditional academic” research conducted in books and academic articles, to hands-on research, to working with archives, both formal and informal. In this assignment, “research materials” can be anything from a formal history of Chicago during the 1950s, to a recipe from your grandmother, to a photograph from your last family reunion.
