London Neighborhood Podcast<\/strong> (from Professor Beth Kramer’s RH104 course)<\/p>\n

This assignment will allow you to construct a podcast analyzing a London neighborhood. The project is designed to teach you how to use primary research and visual\/audio analysis to develop a carefully
\nconstructed argument. You will choose a London neighborhood to focus on based on the \u201cLondon
\nCards\u201d options. Once chosen, you will limit your analysis to a particular \u201csidewalk\u201d or small vicinity
\nwithin the neighborhood. Your goal is to create a podcast analyzing the public space in the area,
\naiming to explore what links and divides insiders and outsiders in this space.<\/p>\n

QUESTIONS FOR OBSERVATION #1 (DUE Th\/F July 4\/5):
\n\u25cf Is there a defining visual feature of the neighborhood that dominates public space (cathedral,
\ncentral square, etc.)? How does this feature cause people to come together and\/or drive them
\napart?
\n\u25cf How are insiders and outsiders organized in your neighborhood\/space? What unites and\/or
\ndivides them (language, dress, race, activities, age, attitude, etc.)? Are there tensions between
\nthese groups? Does it match your assumptions\/stereotypes or does it challenge them?
\n\u25cf Do people behave differently in public areas of the neighborhood compared to more private
\nspaces?
\n\u25cf Does your background and subject position influence how you analyze insiders and outsiders?
\nHow are you connected to\/divided from these groups?<\/p>\n

1-2 pages, double-spaced, submitted to Eportfolio. Be sure to include 5-10 images that capture
\ndefining qualities of your neighborhood, and\/or the presence of insiders and outsiders.<\/p>\n

PROMPT FOR NEIGHBORHOOD BACKGROUND\/HISTORY (DUE Mon. July 8 at 11PM)
\n\u25cf Using scholarly and\/or popular sources, discuss the background and history of your
\nneighborhood. You might include when the neighborhood formed, notable activities that take
\nplace in your area (tourism, commerce, entertainment, etc.), major historical events that have
\noccurred there, statistics on residents and visitors, and any other information that would provide
\ncontext and background.<\/p>\n

1-2 pages, double-spaced, with footnotes in Chicago Style. Submitted to Eportfolio.<\/p>\n

QUESTIONS FOR OBSERVATIONS\/INTERVIEWS #2 (DUE TH\/F JULY 11\/12)
\n\u25cf What appears different from your first set of observations (behavior, activity, city noise, ect.).
\nWhat is the same? Do you notice any different sets of insiders and or\/outsiders?
\n\u25cf As you become more comfortable in the neighborhood, do you notice any difference in your own
\nbehavior or views? Can you interview residents\/visitors to share their impression of the
\nneighborhood?
\n\u25cf How do the texts\/podcasts we have used in this unit influence your impression and understanding
\nof your neighborhood (Duneier, Gladwell, Staples)?<\/p>\n

1-2 pages, double-spaced, submitted to Eportfolio. In addition, aim to interview 1-4 people that
\nhelp you confirm\/contest your observations. These can add particularly meaningful components
\nto the podcast. You might also record the presence of noise\/transportation\/activity to capture the
\nsensory experience of visiting this neighborhood.<\/p>\n

Podcast Components<\/strong><\/p>\n

Intro: Introduce yourself\/topic and include background\/context\/history of the area
\nMiddle: Explore and reflect on key evidence that helps to capture the visual organization of the
\nneighborhood and any interesting tensions that you find between insiders and outsiders (sounds on the street, description of visual details, interview clips, etc.)
\nEnding: What do you want your listener to understand about insiders and outsiders in the\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 neighborhood\u00a0after listening to your podcast? Are there lingering questions that you have? What have you\u00a0learned about the process of ethnography?<\/p>\n

Rubric<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You will be evaluated on content\/organization (80%) and presentation\/style (20%) (see above chart)<\/p>\n

In addition to in-class workshops, you can find many tutorials on YouTube for editing podcasts on
\nAdobe Audition or Garageband. Consider integrating music, adjusting sound and background noise,
\nusing transitions, and framing clips with your own reflection.<\/p>\n

Final podcast due Sunday, July 14th at 11PM.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 7-10 minutes, mp3 format, uploaded to Blackboard\u00a0under \u201cEthnography Podcast Gallery.\u201d\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Submit Chicago-style bibliography to \u201cSubmit\u00a0Assignments\u201d<\/p>\n
