Ethnography Project

For our Ethnography we choose to do Public Writing. This extended from posters to bulletin boards to graffiti  to white boards. My portion of the project was to observe white boards across the dorm. I am having trouble uploading a picture of my daybook observations, but here is the breakdown.
Public Writing

  • 5 Boards
  • 3 Blank
  • 1 with a :D
  • 1 with a blue ink smudge
  • 5 were girls dorms
  • 1 had a picture of everybody that lived there
Analysis 
 Most people must clean their boards off or people had simply not written on their boards. Also that only girls had white boards on their door. I do not know the significance of that, but there has to be some connection. There is correlation but there is no causation behind it.

    I've noticed that it seems to be only girls that have white boards in my dorm as well. Although, I have never really thought about the meaning behind it before. It is interesting to read other people's boards as you walk by their doors. To see what others wrote and left behind for them to see.
