1. Ethnographic Bracketing
====
For this exercise each participant will do two brief interviews. In the first, you will ask someone about their experience of something with which you are very familiar (e.g., a man might ask another man to describe what it is like to shave his face in the morning). In the second, you will ask someone about their experience of something you are completely unfamiliar with (a lifelong speaker of English might ask someone who learned English as an adult about the experience).
