So, we are supposed to write two ethnography ideas, one that we want to do and one that we would like to do but are unable to because of prior experiences.
I would like to do an ethnography on a dance group. I have no experience dancing in a structured environment and I have little knowledge of what it takes to be a good dancer. For this reason, I would like to immerse myself in the culture of a dance group and begin to understand how they work. I could spend time with salsa groups, with country western groups, or in a pop/hip-hop club. Either way I would be able to immerse myself in the culture and gain a better understanding of a structured dance group.
One possibility for an ethnography that I am not able to participate in is the gay community in B/CS. This is because I spend a lot of time with friends who are in this community and I already have a good view of the area. If someone wants to investigate this community, there is a club in downtown Bryan called Halo which is popular with this community and a person can easily observe what occurs in this community there.
There are many more possibilities, but these are the only ones that come to mind right now.
