• How do technology and race intersect in online influencer communities?

You will not be interviewing people but rather observing and interacting to gather info to help you answer your guiding question.

Your fieldnote should be structured into four main sections: (Jottings, Description, Analysis, Reflection), plus a coding section. Each section should be 1 page double spaced (4 double spaced pages total, ~1000 words).

1. Jottings

• Quickly record observations during or immediately after your 30-minute observation.
• Use bullet points to note everything you notice: sights, sounds, smells, interactions, behaviors.
• Include small detailsit doesnt have to be polished.

Length: page single spaced / 1 page double spaced

Description

• Turn your jottings into a more detailed narrative.

3. Analysis

• Use at least 3 course readings (including 1 from the week you submit your fieldnote).
• Connect your observations to themes from your readings.
• Structure your analysis as follows:
  1. Create sub-sections for each theme you coded (see coding section).
  2. Use specific observations from your jottings/description to illustrate the theme.
  3. Reference 3 readings to explain or challenge your observations (paraphrase + in-text citation).
  4. Answer these questions:
     • What do your observations reveal about course themes?
     • How do different perspectives shape understanding of local/global issues?
     • Does your observation confirm or challenge the readings?

  • Beauty and online communities
  • Technology and gender
  • Race/gender/influencers
  • Local and transnational feminisms
  • International politics

Coding Tips:

• Be specific: e.g., instead of gender, code women restricted from leadership roles.
• Highlight only relevant detailsnot everything.
• Similar themes to your weeks 9-11 interview codes can be reused if appropriate.




Submission

• Submit your fieldnote including:
  • Jottings
  • Description
  • Analysis
  • Reflection
  • Coding/Color legend
  • Works Cited page

THE FOLLOWING IS JUST AN EXAMPLE:

• This is an example (ATTACHED BELOW) of how the fieldnote can be used on a film. You will also be basing your fieldnote on a film. It does a good job of describing the scenes in detail, coding for themes and color-coding those themes.
