Conduct a short ethnographic exercise in which you observe and participate in a food event, documenting
as much of the process as you are able through fieldnotes, subsequent interviews with participants,
photography, etc. An essay will provide a synthesis of your research, in which you should describe the food
event from conception to culmination, locate it within the larger food repertoire of the particular group and
the group‟s socio-cultural tradition, and relate it to other cultural performances. Students should consult
and cite the relevant literature for analogous food performances in different contexts. See the next page for
a listing of CBU library resources that can assist you in your work. Anticipated length: 5-7 pages doublespaced
(exclusive of bibliography).
PLEASE NOTE: Hospitality and Tourism students may not use the “Evening of Food and Wine†as the site
for their fieldwork project, irrespective of whether you are currently in the course responsible for it, have
been in the past, or will be in the future.
also, please i want you if you can write the sources from these Journals or any good websites
