SOC 351 - Ethnographic Research

(2 credits)
An overview of ethnographic methods, goals, and the theoretical assumptions underlying them. Ethnography, the description and analysis of human life or culture, is based on qualitative fieldwork. The goal is to understand the “native’s” point of view, to learn from people rather than study them. Students will have an opportunity to practice fieldwork methods and write a brief ethnography.
