An ethnographer of laundromats and a former publican, and how to reach them.

People

Two of us. Noor convenes the course, sets the fieldwork ethics and reads every Place Audit. Teo takes the Rounds and marks Field Notes.

Ethics, sites and extensions go to Noor, by email. Anything about method is better asked in the field, on a Thursday, which is what the Rounds are for.
