Course description

The Ethnographic Fieldwork course offers students a combination of practical and analytical learning experiences. Students develop their knowledge and skills in research methods by practicing ethnography. The course includes training through hands-on exercises and concept-driven discussion, followed by an independent period of field research that will inform the student's case study essay. The course reviews a range of methodological approaches to fieldwork and explores key ethical, political and practical issues in the doing and writing of ethnography and anthropology. The course guides students in their development of critical perspectives on human society and culture through focussed research and structured experience.
