This study examines the work of Leon James, a social psychologist and professor at the University of Hawaii, and his attempt in building an intentional community that both absorbs and accommodates the culture of the surrounding local community of Oahu. I discuss theory, methodology, and works developed over the past twenty five years by Dr. James and his colleagues at the University of Hawaii. Dr. James had organized his research program around the practice of the community classroom. The community classroom includes the students enrolled in one of his courses, graduate assistants, former students, and interested visiting participants and Dr. James himself. Within this research model, Dr. James has applied ethnographic research self-report techniques, observer-subject analysis, and discourse analysis to examine issues in social psychology. Dr. James approach to psychology holds promise for understanding daily life in this postmodern period, by gathering data and analysis from the subject-observer. By focusing on routine, daily involvement, by individuals who hold common identities, allegiances, and experiences may lead to a deeper understanding of our evolving cultural practices and meanings.
