Subject: Interviewees on the subject of Language and Power?



Hi My name is Eric Baus and I'm doing a research project on the ethnography

of service based interactions and I'd like to do a short e-mail interview

with anyone with an interest in the topic or who has done any relevant

research. If you'd like you can describe some ethnographic aspects of the

interactions you encounter at your job (how the interaction is affected by

where you are, who you are talking to, in what order the exchanges of

information occur, is this spoken or written, what are the expectations of

behavior, what are the end goals of the interaction etc.) . I'm including

teaching under this broad umbrella of service so feel free to comment about

the classroom situation if you want. Thanks a lot, I appreciate any and all

responses so please write if you feel you have anything to say on the topic,
