Drawing People Drawing is a short classroom experiment designed to be run in approximately one hour. It brings students in touch with drawing as a medium for ethnography, and with Pubpub as a tool to circulate field notes and edit them collaboratively.

• Begin by creating a Pub using the Create Pub button in the top-right corner. Pubs give you the opportunity to edit your documents in real-time with others, and are private until you Publish them.

• Then add your drawing by clicking on the “media” button. Choose the dimension you like. Add a short caption.

• Pubs are the main type of document to use for your work. Pubs allow you to write with collaborators in real-time and invite others to leave feedback in the form of discussion threads and inline annotations (view, create, and filter your Pubs from the Community Overview Dashboard).

• After you are done uploading your drawing, draft a short under the picture, “unpacking” your note into text. Then go a bit further: what more is in this drawing, beyond the figurative level? How does this drawing tune in with your anthropological attention of the present moment?

• Send the link to your draft using the “share” function to people you have drawn, asking them to comment briefly on your text. Keep things positive.

• You can also “add Member” to invite other people to peer over your draft and suggest edits (collaboration is always good!)

• Click on “publish” to send the instructors a notification. Confirm with a thumb up to them that it is ready to go. Also, don’t think too much.

A few more things on what you can do with a Pubpub Community:

• Your Community is the workspace where you invite collaborators, design your pages, and write, edit and publish your work. Communities are designed to be flexible, and can host anything from a book or conference to an ongoing journal, blog, collection of books, and much more.

• You can customize your Community Settings with your own colors, images, navigation bar, footer, etc. (Settings tab).

• You can add additional Members to your entire Community, or to a single Collection or Pub, and give them permissions ranging from read-only to total control (Members tab).
