Total Immersion Protocols
The Private Principal Investigator‘s immersion protocols emerged from field experience in what can accurately be described as “extreme ethnographic conditions” or “hostile field environments.” I organized similar ethnographic experience characteristics from my immersion in each rural culture into the following categories of methodological protocols:
Setting up a new basic life
Starting at the bottom
Extended unplugged living
Relations in systems
Living simply and frugally
Cultural work
Zip code considerations
Coping with isolation
Emerging and transitioning
Processing and debriefing
Documenting and documentation
Grounding theory in projects
Creating
Sharing and marketing
