ASSIGNMENTS.
INDIVIDUAL (AUTO)ETHNOGRAPHIC STUDY Over the course of about two months (before and during your stay in the Netherlands) we ask you to consciously reflect on your mobility practice and how it evolves. You will use (auto) ethnographic techniques and report your findings in a report. The (auto)ethnographic method is highly subjective and uses deep self-reflection while writing to explore and connect personal experience to wider cultural, political, and social meanings and understandings. You are encouraged to use visual support, media, drawings, and anything else to supplement the reader’s understanding of your experiences. Additionally, this method asks you to be aware of your own “baggage” (ie, assumptions, stereotypes, etc) as a cycling researcher who has a particular idea of “Dutch cycling.” At its most basic level, this method requires keeping a diary (written or audio/visual, or both). In this diary, you record the following: 1. Observations of mobility (cycling) practices and behaviors of others: »»
Who is doing what? Where are they doing what?
»»
What emotions in others are you sensing?
2. Observations of the tangible environment: urban design, traffic, audible and visual sensations »»
What do you hear, see, smell?
3. Observations and reflections of the intangible:your own bodily sensations, thoughts, experiences, interactions with others. »»
What do you feel in your body?
»»
How is your mind working, is it wandering or focusing on something?
»»
Who is interacting, who are you interacting with?
1. BEFORE ARRIVAL (IN YOUR HOME CITY) Choose a minimum of two modes of transport and consciously observe and reflect on your mobility practice. During at a minimum of 2 trips per mode, take scrupulous notes (eg, a diary) and answer the above questions, in your own words and using your own reflections and observations. Compare your notes from both modes. If possible, relate your findings to literature (reading list provided). 2. UPON ARRIVAL IN AMSTERDAM & OVER 2-3 WEEKS Choose a minimum of two modes of transport and consciously observe and reflect on your mobility practice. Over the course of 2-3 weeks, your cycling diary should contain as many entries as possible (minimum of 3 entries per week) answering the questions above. The other mode(s) is for you to decide, and the more you experience it the deeper your research (minimum 3 diary entries).

#PCCAMS17
ASSIGNMENTS.
INDIVIDUAL WRITTEN REPORT STAGE 1 - DRAFT REPORT Submit an individual written report on the (auto)ethnographic study findings in two stages. Using the questions on the previous page to guide you, your draft report should reflect on: How are these experiences different from other mode(s) and different from your home context? u Deadline to submit on Blackboard: Sunday 25 June STAGE 2 - FINAL REPORT Your final report should expand on your draft: Do your perceptions and experiences in (1, 2, 3) change? When, where, why, how? What do these experiences and changes in experience mean? Link specifically to literature from the course readings. u Deadline to publish on Blackboard: Sunday 2 July
DUO EXPERIENCES & READINGS PREPARATION FOR EACH LECTURE To come prepared to each lecture, complete the lists in the Playbook with your “most opposite person.” These experiences and accompanying reading(s) are designed for you to engage with the social and spatial environment. You are free to use them as a foundation or supplement for your autoethnographic study. It’s up to you to decide when to do them (in advance!) and how deep you go into each rabbit hole.
GROUP REFLECTION APPLY & REFLECT FOR EACH BLOCK Groups will be made on the first day. Your group chooses an area in the city of Amsterdam. At each Block opening, your group picks one of the Block topics. During each Block, your group gathers data and analyses at a specific location. At each Block closing, your group pitches reflections on methods and findings in 2 minutes (timed). “PECHA KUCHA” PRESENTATION In 6 minutes 40 seconds your group reflects on what you have learned about cycling, what you have experienced in the Netherlands, and how this relates to your home situation. You will receive professional support in developing this - think TED. Your final presentation will be held at the closing public event on 7 July. u Draft slide deck due by 9:00, 5 July. Professional feedback is 6 July.

Using the entire paper, draw the the physical space you see (in plan perspective, or bird’s eye). Note as many details of the infrastructure, pavement markings, and building block as possible. 3. Choose 1 type of user to follow (for now). For example, choose bicyclists or car drivers or pedestrians. Trace 100 movements or pathways of the user group you choose. If a particular pathway is popular, that line will become very thick. 4. Now follow 1 other type of user. Repeat #3. 5. Take a look at the lines you drew. How do these lines correspond to the infrastructure and other rules/regulations provided? Are users using the space as it’s intended? Why or why not? 6. Interview 5 users of the space. What do they think of the intersection?

THE RULES OF THE ROAD u You’ve now been a temporary Amsterdammer for a week or so. You’ve probably noticed some interesting behaviors on (or off) the road. Make a list of all the rules of the road - surely some are formal laws, but there are many unwritten rules as well. Use language to carefully describe what you are noticing.

The content of this course was made possible by the Urban Cycling Institute, hosted at the University of Amsterdam Graduate School of Social Sciences Summer School and the Center for Urban Studies. Creative production of this playbook was directed by Meredith Glaser. We also want to thank all the speakers for contributing their time and expertise to the course. Without them these three weeks would not have been possible.
