    This course is designed to give students hands-on experience with constructing original ethnographic research projects and implementing them using a variety of field methods. Through this course, students will study a wide array of methodological case studies from which to build on when completing their own research. Each week, students will learn both practical skills and the many theoretical underpinnings of doing ethnographic research, including cross-cultural considerations and ethical implications of specific methods; techniques for conducting successful interviews; recording quality fieldnotes and navigating the challenges of participant observation; and more. Learning by doing will be a priority through the application of a unique combination of research methods tailored to fit each student's particular project, which can include some of the following: map-making, perusal of local archival resources, constructing kinship charts, shadowing, interviewing, collecting life histories, dream analysis, participant observation, and designing a survey. At the completion of this course, students will analyze their ethnographic data and synthesize it in a formal research paper.
