Ethnography & Communication

A 4 page research paper that examines classroom communication from an ethnographic viewpoint. All cultures have social rules that govern what is considered to be appropriate communication.

However, research also indicates that gender or cultural bias can interfere with this process. Implications are discussed. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
