RE: [Air-l] ethnography and ethics

For the sake of furthering the ethics discussion: How would you proceed with an investigation of the conversations that people have using mobile phones in public places such as the bus or train. This is a situation where lines of public and private are blurred as one sided presentations of sometimes very private conversations are performed on what can be a very public stage. Kevin W.
