Over the weekend, you will read one of the interviews featured on the Harvard Gazette "Experience"  and write a summary of the interview to post on your blog.

 As you summarize, you will want to pay attention to the kinds of questions being asked and consider how the how the phrasing of the question allows for the response from the person being interviewed. In other words, this summary should focus particular attention to the "method" of the interview (the how? and why?). You will also want to pay close attention to "uncovering the values" in the questions and the responses, that is, identify the values the text assumes. As Harris urges, attempt to highlight the unseen and investigate a word or concept that the interview leaves unexamined. Consider how the values and attitudes of society have shaped the questions being asked and the responses given.

Keep in mind you will be conducting your own interviews in a couple of weeks. Use this opportunity to start thinking about who you would like to interview (ideally someone on campus, but not necessarily) and what you might want to ask them. We will be reviewing our interview questions in class for peer feedback before you conduct your interviews to make sure you do not need to return for a second interview.

You should post you summary of a Harvard Gazette "Experience" interview sometime before Friday, October 24.
