Description
This course introduces students to ethnographic methods through an experiential approach to learning. We explore the connection between anthropological theory and method, while examining the politics and possibilities associated with engaged ethnographic research. Students will select a research topic and field site, develop a research design, conduct fieldwork, code and analyze data, and summarize their findings. Throughout, they will gain a comparative understanding of cultural values and practices and how people’s everyday lives are mutually constituted through global and local relations.
