Over the January Interterm, Dr. Stephanie Takaragawa<\/a> (Wilkinson College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences<\/a> Associate Dean for Academic Programs; Sociology<\/a>) taught Anthro-Space\/Place: Disneyland, a 4-week-long class where students conducted empirical research at Disneyland in Anaheim to examine different theories of social behavior.<\/p>\n

Students explored articles written about Disneyland and visited the park once a week to observe people\u2019s actions and behaviors. They learned how to look at different spaces using different anthropological theories.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt changes your perspective so much,\u201d said Phy Schaefer (\u201828 Psychology, minor in Asian American Studies<\/a>)\u2060. \u201cIt\u2019s fascinating when you dive into why a space is created the way it is.\u201d<\/p>\n

The classroom discussions provided students with the vocabulary to articulate observations and understand the social phenomena that Disneyland fosters.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter reading papers, and observing Disneyland, we would meet and discuss complex topics, applying what we witnessed directly to what we read, comparing theories on why people act the way they do,\u201d said Juliana Jordan (\u201827 Physics, Philosophy). \u201cThe small class size allowed us to talk as friends, and while it was still a difficult class, we all got to go as a large group of friends to Disneyland once a week, a fun and entertaining experience,\u201d she said.<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Each student had different fieldwork exercises when visiting the park. For example, one assignment was to observe behavior in one place for one hour, watching how people moved through one particular space to learn to discern patterns and processes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey have to determine why people are doing what they are doing, and what the built environment or cultural environment does to constrain that behavior,\u201d said Dr. Takaragawa. \u201cThe process is to learn the \u2018culture\u2019 of Disneyland, like you would learn any other culture, to immerse yourself in the culture to learn the behavior,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Jordan focused her research on technology, a personal interest of hers, and worked on a project related to future sciences. The class experience introduced her to an entirely new field of theory that she was unaware of, futurology, which is the study of current events or trends to predict future developments.<\/p>\n

\u201cI found it fascinating to study concepts like phenomenology and apply them to our experiences in the parks, as well as to our societal responses to the future. My [research] on science factionalism and retro-futurism is going to stick with me as I continue consuming media sent out to make you feel a specific way, making me more careful about the tactics spaces and media are using in my life,\u201d said Jordan.<\/p>\n

As this course requires students to work through theories and methods and focus on observing situations for several hours, interterm is the only time it can be offered.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is probably my favorite class to teach. It’s a lot of work and it\u2019s definitely challenging. However, I think the education that students get in this class really does make the workload worth it. I enjoy watching students learn how to carry out ethnographic research, collaborate, and support each other in the classroom,\u201d said Dr. Takaragawa.<\/p>\n
