Design Ethnography

OK! So straight into project one, I feel like it makes me clearer if I blog about the steps we are required to do, so I know I'm on track.

Step One: My domain of everyday life is WORKING. I am specifically looking at career Identity and the interesting way people categorise humans based on their occupation, and how this can in turn effect who the person believes they can be.

I am nervous that having to choose cross-cultural examples might be a little challenging here, as I am really more interested in cross-occupational examples instead, but hopefully I can tie the two together.

Step Two:
Search the eHRAF Collection of Ethnography database (check website for link) for two cross-cultural accounts of this domain of everyday life.
Your examples can be related to any people, places, activities, objects and/or values, but they must come from cultures other than your own and they must be related to how words are used in that context. 

This is where I'm at now, I need to research and find some information...

In terms of choosing two experiments from the textbook, I have chosen Exploration 14# as one I'd like to do, and I am still looking for another one to link back.

So I need to get my A into G!
