SOC 5026 Ethnography
This class examines ethnography used in sociology and anthropology as a way to study communities and culture. We will explore critically the issues, ethics, and techniques of ethnographic fieldwork, with primary emphasis on participant observation. The course will combine reading of ethnographies, fieldwork methods, hands-on work in "doing ethnography" and writing an ethnography from primary data collection. Students will learn about research design, gathering data and analyzing data. Prerequisite: SOC 1001 Intro. to Sociology or ANTH 1050 Cultural Anthropology
