2/ But #DeadAndCo coming to campus, I spent the last few days volunteering for CU Guest Relations (I am a faculty member), wristbanding folks for floor access. I approached this in the spirit of #ParticipantObservation. So I am a verging-on-upper- middle class cis straight, kinda beefy (have kept that Covid weight on), in a too-small t-shirt like the one attached below. And I have vast, #neurodivergent powers over facts -- thei intersection date-place-band, and includes Jerry Garcia.

Enquired about another #PhD project. This one’s a #ParticipantObservation study in a prison. I need to find out which prison and how doable it is. I love #ethnography! And it ties in with my interests in reintegration into the community after a prison sentence. I’ll see what the supervisor says #criminology

I finally got #EthicsCommittee approval for my little #ethnographic #research study that I want to run alongside my main project. It’s some #ParticipantObservation of the charity environment I’m based in most days. I basically sit and chat with the clients most of the time, so I figured I might as well write the experience up as an actual study - I learn a lot from my conversations that’s worth recording #fieldwork #criminology

For my new project I’ve arranged to do participant-observation with a pest control company. The first step in that journey is to go through a few weeks of training. #anthropology #pestcontrol #participantobservation
