Project #3
I have chose softball as my discourse community. I picked this completely at random over the weekend, while looking through some old pictures. I played softball as a young child, but do not remember much of the sport. I played for about two years with my cousins on a team called, the Dolphins. I will base my research off of a specific team (major league or a campus team). Also, I have a few friends that I live with that play softball/baseball. I could interview them, and learn more about the sport in general to get a better understanding now that I am older. I will try to find different ways to research this sport through websites, biographies on different players, and even books at the Alden Library.
Good topic, Blair. As long as you focus your attention on a specific team or a particular league, I expect you'll be on the right track to a good ethnography.
