Intercultural Interview Assignment
Learn about a culture that is different from your own: interview someone who is different from you in an important way (a different racial, ethnic, cultural, linguistic, gender identity or sexual orientation from your own). Your interview may be in person or via any format that has both audio and video capabilities. Take notes: facial expressions and other nonverbal cues are important to what people say and how they say it. Make sure you have the person’s permission to use their identity (many people might prefer first names only), or use a pseudonym.
- Write about the culture, the interviewee's identity, and what you have learned about the differences between you/society as a whole.
- Incorporate at least 6 sources (4 scholarly/peer-reviewed; 1 may be your textbook).
- APA style.
