ANTHR 6403 - Ethnographic Field Methods

Fall. 4 credits. Student option grading.

Co-meets with ANTHR 4403.

V. Santiago-Irizarry.

This course will provide students with practical understanding about what anthropologists actually do in the field. We will examine problems that emerge in conducting fieldwork that raise ethical, methodological, theoretical, and practical issues in the observation, participation in, recording, and representation of culture(s). Students will be expected to develop a semester-long, local research project that will allow them to experience fieldwork situations.
