GC Week 6 Memo s2025 Page
16 February 2025
LAST CALL: If you have not yet submitted a Midterm Exam Question, please do that today . . .
What’s Happening Week 6?
This week we venture out to meet then twelve-year-old Chai Thao who will tell us about her Hmong family in neighboring Appleton, Wisconsin, and what was like to grow up in a Hmong shaman’s family as an “American” pre-teen.
We will have a preliminary look at "Units of Analysis" in anthropological research in an exercise comparing/contrasting Chai Thao of Appleton and the acclaimed Olympic gymnast Sunisa Lee of St. Paul.
We’ll consider some “Other Important Terms” that you should keep in mind. (“Units of Analysis” is one we’ll focus more on during Week 10.)
The other main thing you need to do this this week is prepare for the Midterm Exam next week (it will be available Monday-Saturday, 24 February- 1 March 2025). So catch up on your readings, videos, and slides, and start thinking about the Midterm Exam.
Slide decks include “Other Important Terms”, and "Fieldwork as a Primary Research Technique".
