Course description |
This course focuses on ethnography both as 'process' and 'product'. Through readings and assignments, it helps students explore: the historical development of ethnography in the Anglophone world; a variety of 'classic' ethnographies; the ways in which text and theory are linked; and some individual ethnographers. |
