Written Assignment:
1. In view of Sweitzer and King’s discussion of “civic development,” what do you think “civic” means to them, and to you? What is the “civic” role of your internship site and your work there?
(**MY ANSWER ABOUT MY INTERNSHIP: My civic role is to accurately read charts and graphs, pay attention, take accurate field notes and relay them to my superiors)
2. Alexndre Frenette’s research focuses on what “interns actually do” (366). Respond to the following questions:
Why does Frenette cite previous research?
In addition to participant observation, how else does he collect data?
What stands out about the culture industry and its flexible workers in comparison to other industries?
Now that you’ve learned about some of the challenges facing interns, how does this make you feel about your internship? This may help you create some distance, as a researcher of your field site. That is, you can see whether or not you find similar processes as Frenette claims in his own work.
3. Include two discussion questions at the end of the assignment. Thinking about these readings and your field research, what would you like to talk about at our next meeting?
(** Please write questions related to the answers given above so I’m not lost. Thank you)
