We are moving - slowly - forward. Happy to report that Professor of Sociology John Grady has agreed to provide consultation as an ethnographer. Also, we received a $500 grant to support the work of a student/peer tutor who will be working with us this summer as we develop a project. Our goal is to have a project statement in place by early Fall.

Betty, Thanks for the update. At Wesleyan we are also slowly making progress. We've got a team assembled and are beginning to have regular meetings to come up with a more concrete plan of action. Right now we are thinking that we'll do our actual observations in the fall. Following our original plan for our workshops, this would suggest that we should have our second workshop in October or November. This would be a good time for the other schools to ask themselves what sort of small project they might be working on between now and then in order to make the seoond workshop-- intended to focus on data analysis and translation of findings into design -- useful and productive. We've also revamped the project website, which you can see at http://www.ethnoproject.info . -- mike -----Original Message----- From: Betty Collins [mailto:bcollins@wheatonma.edu] Sent: Wednesday, April 19, 2006 11:55 AM To: roy@academiccommons.org Subject: Re: [ethno-project] Next Steps After The First Workshop We are moving - slowly - forward.
