Subject: Interviewees on the subject of Language and Power?

Hi My name is Eric Baus and I'm doing a research project on the ethnography
of service based interactions and I'd like to do a short e-mail interview
with anyone with an interest in the topic or who has done any relevant
research. If you'd like you can describe some ethnographic aspects of the
interactions you encounter at your job (how the interaction is affected by
where you are, who you are talking to, in what order the exchanges of
information occur, is this spoken or written, what are the expectations of
behavior, what are the end goals of the interaction etc.) . I'm including
teaching under this broad umbrella of service so feel free to comment about
the classroom situation if you want. Thanks a lot, I appreciate any and all
responses so please write if you feel you have anything to say on the topic,
