Ethnographic Methods Class presents Student Research on Public Life and Public Space in Milledgeville, Georgia
Government & Sociology, Department of Thursday April 23, 2026
Students in ANTH 4950 Ethnographic Methods have completed original ethnographic research projects exploring the different ways public spaces in Milledgeville facilitate community building for students and locals. Looking at downtown, the Oconee River Greenway and public libraries specifically, students have studied how activities like karaoke, trivia, maintenance work, dog walking, book clubs and story time bring people together, and the ways in which people create meaning through their interactions in public spaces.
Students will share research findings with the public at Allen's Market on Wednesday, April 29, from 2 to 3:30 p.m.
All interested students and members of the public are warmly invited to attend the event to learn more about the importance of public spaces in our community.
