Coming Soon...

Once you have gathered enough data from your fieldsites, I will ask you to post pieces of your fieldworking  projects as well as questions to pose to the other Honors Program fieldworkers. This is also a site to facilitate cross-pollination in your research process; that is, another student may know a contact or have access to an event in your subculture. It would be great to share this kind of "cultural capital" with one another. 

The news from my section is that everyone has chosen a subculture to study and has taken their first set of fieldnotes. Research proposals are finished, and we are on to more fieldnotes and analysis and are beginning to talk about interviews. 

The subcultures that my students have selected for their fieldstudies are:

• Dominican Catholics 
  
• White Noise Records in Providence
  
• Tattoo Parlor in North Kingstown
  
• Girl Scouts of Westerly
  
• Independently-Owned Bakery: Seven Stars
  
• "Tomorrow's Fund" at Hasbro: Mothers of Kids with Cancer
  
• Shryne: Life of a Local Rock Band
  
• R. I. National Guard Band
  
• Professional Poker Players
  
• Underground Artists in Providence
  
• Theater Actors in Providence
