Ethnographic Study Ideas

I have two thoughts for topics for my ethnographic survey. My first was to go to the Tennessee state legislature to observe the ways that the politicians work. Its a world that not many people can access. I thought I could do a day of observation, maybe sit in on a few voting sessions and then possibly get a few interviews as people left the chamber.

My other thought was to observe a kindergarten class. We have all been in kindergarten but many of us have forgotten that world. It is a very closed off world as well. Because of new security issues its hard to get in. My mother is a teacher and I think I could observe a couple of these classes and talk to some of the kids.
