ETHNOGRAPHIC FIELDWORK

Anthropology (ANTH) Humanities and Global Studies

Course Description

This course is an introduction to ethnographic fieldwork, the main method of research in cultural anthropology. Fieldwork is fundamentally a hands-on activity, and thus constitutes a form of experiential learning. We will read about fieldwork, but we'll also learn about fieldwork by doing it. The course consists of a series of short field research assignments, and a short field research project that you present at the end of this course. This course is an elective for all Anthropology minors.
