For the Neighborhood Ethnography project, there are two general neighborhoods that I am thinking of exploring:
1) Upper West Side – Being the location and neighborhood in which I reside in, I’d like to research about my neighborhood’s demographics, particularly the influx of minorities within a neighborhood that is generally deemed predominantly “white”.
2) Harlem – I’d also be interested in researching and crafting an ethnography on West Harlem (perhaps East Harlem as well), as with the Upper West Side, I’d like to learn more about the influx of different minorities within Harlem as well, because I know that it’s not as predominantly African American neighborhood anymore.
Hello everyone, my name is Xiaoji Zou. I am originally from Southern China where I was born and immigrated to the United States at the age of 1. I then lived on the Lower East Side (Chinatown) for about 15 years until I moved the Upper West Side where I now reside. Having a strong Chinese upbringing, I not only value the juxtaposition of the chaotic lifestyle New York offers as opposed to the somewhat resilient Chinese lifestyle, but also all that New York has to offer.
This is what originally lead me to Macaulay Honors College, however not for Baruch originally. I intended to major in the Sciences and Math at City College of New York, but I decided to give Baruch a try as business had somewhat interested me as well. I hope to consider all the possible directions that I can take whether it be in the Medical field, Architecture, or Physics.
