Week 43: 22-28 October 2018

October 28, 2018 by Leave a Comment

We were free this week – a well needed break after the intensive inhouse classes and before our online classes begin next week.

I took the opportunity to continue watching the ethnographic classics that we will learn about once a week this semester.

I also realised there are lots and lots of texts to read in Qualitative Methods. Most of them are voluntary reads. I really liked the Bernard chapters on interviewing, and I also started reading Spradley’s book from the start, since I liked the chapters we had to read for the inhouse classes.

It was the annual porn film festival in Berlin. I went to three screenings and saw a couple of really good movies, and made some interviews for a future podcast episode.
