Divers' Accounts of Normal Risk
This research examines how deep sea divers learn to expand notions of risk to include practices that violate formal training and may increase vulnerability to injury. Cultural constructions of “normal” or acceptable risk are learned in interaction with experienced divers who define the rules of membership and provide accounts that excuse or justify participation in high risk activities. The research explores how novice divers learn to distinguish categories of formal, normal, and excessive risk as they expand their risk involvement and attempt to achieve membership in the deep diving subculture. The study concludes with a discussion of risk normalization in everyday life and other leisure and occupational subcultures.

Captivated by Cops
There is a rich body of literature on how ethnographers are transformed in the eyes of the police from what the scholar Steven K. Herbert calls \"spies\" to \"OK guys.\" What the OK guys and girls talk less about is how fieldwork changes them. Researchers choose to study particular cultures because they resonate with something inside themselves. A bond is formed that they don't anticipate. In time, researchers who study the police start to react like cops and must censor their wish to enact behaviors in the field that do not fit their role and how they define themselves.
