Throughout this quarter, on your own or with a partner, you will be conducting your own field research in a neighborhood in the Seattle metro area. After choosing a neighborhood where you would like to work, you will spend a significant amount of time collecting and analyzing evidence gathered from participant observation, archival records, photography, GIS, and other visual methods, to build a rich portfolio of evidence documenting key dimensions of the urban geographies of this neighborhood. As you engage the neighborhood through a variety of methods over the course of the quarter, you will both enrich your understanding of it, and extend your skills with a range of sources and forms of evidence used by urban geographers. The project has several steps (and outputs) oriented around these different sources/forms of evidence, to generate the full/final project portfolio.
