Anthropology’s Methods

Anthropology's Methods is intended as an advanced methods course that will prepare students to undertake field research projects. In this course we will examine the ways in which anthropology as a discipline has made its knowledge claims, and readings will include selections from Bernard's Research Methods in Anthropology; Emerson, Fretz and Shaw's Writing Ethnographic Field Notes; and Kristen Ghodsee's From Notes to Narrative: Writing Ethnographies that Everyone can Read. We will engage closely with these texts in order to develop our own projects, which will involve a short "fieldwork" element. One of the goals of the course is to collectively move through several stages of undergraduate research in anthropology -- from developing a research question, to conceving of a project, to thinking through methodology and research ethics, to undertaking some section of the project along the duration of the class, to "writing the project up" in an appropriate genre or form. In this course we will focus on qualitative methods
