ANTHR 642 - Ethnographic Research Design

This course has two related foci. First, students will practice the methods of ethnographic research, including best practices for participant observation interviewing, among other methods. To this end, students will conduct a mini-ethnography over the course of the semester. Second, students will develop and write a research proposal for the research they will carry out in their field schools. This research proposal will include a research question, a review of the literature that will motivate the research question, a description of the site where the research will be carried out, and an outline of the methods to be used in data collection and analysis. Students will be able to explain ethical research practices and they may need to pursue IRB approval as well.
