Subject & Catalog Number
Course Information
Description
This course introduces students to ethnographic research methods through a combination of reading, discussion, and practice. Students will read and engage with texts on various key elements of ethnographic research, with attention to the traditions of practice within the discipline of anthropology, critical methodological interventions throughout the discipline’s history, and new and emerging research methods. The readings and in-class discussions aim to engage students in the intellectual and ethical questions at stake in designing research projects. Students will also practice ethnographic methods discussed both within weekly discussions and in self-directed research projects. This hands-on work prepares students for ethnographic research through introduction to and dynamic feedback on ethnographic practice.
