For the third project update, I assigned myself to have completed approximately half of my final project, which will consist of a literature review of environmental justice ethnographies and an ethnographic research proposal focused on the oyster harvesting situation in Apalachiocola Bay. I have finished writing the lit review for U.S.-based ethnographies and am debating whether I should include international ethnographies as well. I still need to write my proposal for gaining access to the Bay community. What I have written so far is by no means a finished product, and some heavy editing and reorganization will likely be required before I’m finished. In the interest of saving space on the blog, I have sent my 3,500 word proposal to Dr. Kazmer via email for her input.
