Grocery Store Ethnography
This activity challenges participants to practice ethnographic research skills in order to discover relationships between cultural behaviors and values and the physical spaces that people occupy in their daily routines. In this activity, participants visit a grocery store and note things like the products available, how the store is arranged, how people are behaving, etc. Then, they attempt to interpret their findings using a cultural lens. Note: Janet Bennett recommends this for students in the Denial stage on the intercultural development continuum (IDC).
