ANTH-303 Doing Anthropological Fieldwork

ANTH-303 Doing Anthropological Fieldwork
Fall only
Faculty:
  • Brennan, Denise
  • In this course we will not only read anthropology, but also do anthropology. Students will learn about field research design and methodology, as well as conduct their own semester-long field-research projects. In order to acquire the skills necessary for participant observation, we will learn how cultural anthropologists select a research topic, survey a field site, design the study, pose theoretical questions, carry out the research, keep field notes, analyze ethnographic data, and then finally, write an ethnography. We will also read examples of ethnography and other forms of anthropological writing such as testimonials and life histories.
    Credits: 3
