Conversation Two
M: Do you want to go to the cinema with uson Saturday?
W: Thanks, but I have to study for myresearch project. I’m taking that same anthropology course you took withProfessor Gray.
M: The one on ethnographic interviewing?Oh, good! I’m sure you’ll get a lot out of it.
W: I have to admit the word"ethnography" scared me a little at first. It seems so technical. Butthen when she explained that it’s what anthropologists do, you know, how theyinvestigate and record aspects of a culture, it didn’t seem so intimidating!
M: Yeah, it’s a part of the field workanthropologists conduct and it’s good to start doing that now before you becomea graduate student and have to conduct large projects yourself. Who are yougoing to interview?
W: You know the publishing office where Iused to work? Vivian, the woman I worked for, has been a manager there for over30 years and seen a lot of changes in the industry. I thought I’d start out byinterviewing her about how the people in the office interact with each otherand with outside clients.
M: The best part of that course is that itshows you that ethnographic research can also be done on a familiar ground.
W: Yeah. I got the idea for my project fromreading Robert Marshal’s study of office life and I realized I already had somebackground in that. So far, I’m really enjoying this course.
