I plan to do fieldwork in the subculture, Campus Crusade for Christ (aka Cru). One particular fieldsite I will research is Pruis Hall, where Cru meets every Thursday night at 9:15. I may research at the Atrium, which is where many Cru members gather for lunch everyday or in Botsford Hall, where quite a few Cru women live and conduct bible studies, one of which I am a member of.
Every Thursday night in Pruis, hundreds of students are huddled in the lobby, meeting and greeting old and new friends. It's always likely to see smiles and hugs in this tightly woven atmosphere of people. As the rope is pulled back for everyone to enter the auditorium, the throng of people migrate toward the entrance. Walking into the auditorium the speakers blare a song of praise. The guitars, drum set, mikes, and amps are set up on the stage with cords tangled every which way. The large screen above the stage displays a countdown of time till the meeting begins.
What more can I discover in this subculture that I don't already know? I'm curious to find and unravel information I've never heard about Cru.
