Anthropology professor Joe Rubenstein has started an interesting project: Students in his course “Field Methods” are expected to blog their field experiences (it seems). Their research topic is teens and adolescence.
“The purpose of writing on our blogs is to keep each other and ourselves informed and up to date on what is going on for *Adolescent* field work project", Danielle explains.
The students are about to meet their first informants. Take a look at the long list of student field blogs on Rubensteins blog (at the bottom of the left sidebar).
Lots of interesting posts in the professor’s blog as well, for example On Doing Fieldwork where he helps us organizing one’s thoughts for the Weblog methods reflections and lists some useful fieldwork websites.
