Stigma, smells, such craziness

Dissertation Title: The Presentation of Self in Everyday [Transit] Life: An Ethnographic Study of Los Angeles Bus Culture
I’m using ethnographic fieldwork methods to document and understand the patterns of culture and behavior on public transit and the ways in which social order is both disrupted and maintained in these spaces. I’m also considering the relationships between this observed behavior and broader societal contexts and phenomena around issues of race, class, and gender (among other things). And, I carry a lot of antibacterial gel and hand wipes with me on the bus because I am a germ freak.

Dissertation Haiku in the News!

​​​           Doctoral Dissertations in Haiku
“One of my old professors liked to say that a poem isn’t any good unless you can explain it to a three-year-old. I never would have thought one could apply that same standard to a doctoral dissertation, but then I came across a brilliant little website called Dissertation Haiku.”
