Coding the Shush

A Grounded-Theory Ethnography of Quiet-Carriage Enforcement

A research poster from the School of Emergent Priorities rides three commuter lines for seven months, coding 187 self-appointed quiet-carriage shush interventions to grounded-theory saturation and testing inter-rater agreement on what counts as one, finding overall agreement substantial but weakest on the intervention that occurs most often: the unaccompanied look.
