I'm devising a qualitative research project for students in Research
Methods in which they will explore a workplace to identify the cultural
categories participants use for activities and tasks: its social
structure and social networks. As pairs or groups they will do two or
more observations and two or more interviews and will compile the data.
I'm getting major support from an anthropology colleague in designing
this project.
In other projects, I have had students include a "review of the
literature" section in their papers, but I have provided the literature
for them. For this one, I would love to locate one or more articles
that deal with workplaces using ethnographic methods. My students will
not do a full ethnography but they could use such an article as a
source of examples of observations or of ideas for analysis.
I have a few articles from which I can draw portions but if you have
something that you can recommend, I'd appreciate it and would summarize
and return your responses to the list.
Thanks,
Susanne
