anthropology researchThis is Phase III of an Edmonton based research project.
Goal: The goal of this phase is to find design students who will help draft a printable template for a playbook as the 'final step' of a community based research project.
Background: During the Fall 2021 term, students from MacEwan's ethnographic methods class conducted and analyzed interviews with a key stakeholder working at the City of Edmonton. Our goal is to craft a template of the playbook that could be published - as part of the knowledge translation activities of this research project.

The student will need to complete the following activities to successfully complete the project:
- To review findings (interviews and codes) from anthropology interns;
- To work independently and with peers to develop a printable template for a What would Susan do? playbook;
- Collaborate with the community partner who will provide feedback on the draft.
The student will receive the following supports in their work:
- Training and access to interview data collection and analysis;
- Complete training and receive mentorship on ethical community-based research;
- Mentoring from Mentor Marketing on project and design work.
