Welcome to the website for the OBAltimore project conceived by Dr. Matthew Durington, assistant professor of Anthropology at Towson University.
The explanation for the PROJECT, the ASSIGNMENT, the MAP, the FOCUS COMMUNITIES, and my personal page as I develop the PAPER related to the project can be found on the other pages on this site following the links above.
If you are a participant in this project I welcome you to comment on your video and dialogue with the student who shot it or with me if it is one that I posted.
If you would like to view the videos outside of the wordpress site please visit the OBAltimore channel on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/user/OBAltimore
Linked to this front page and below this ‘welcome post’ you will find a series of posts consisting of video clip(s) and/or pictures followed by a reflexive piece written by the individual who made the video to establish context. You will notice that some of the posts are categorized by the communities of Sharp Leadenhall and Hampden, this is to reflect the concentration of the larger researchproject.
STEAL THIS IDEA VISUAL ANTHROPOLOGISTS!
I look forward to your dialogue!
