Week 7 - Posting 7

By now you should have visited your site at least once (if not a few times), interviewed one or two people (or at least set-up interviews for the not-too-distant future), and gathered some research. Now I want you to start thinking about the benefits of fieldwork and what you can give back to your chosen culture/subculture by doing your research. So, what can you give back to your community? You should know a good deal at this point, so what does your community need that you can provide them? What is your contribution (to the community, to our class, to your own education)? Think about it and post on your blogs.
