Course design:  

The course will be a combination of lectures, independent work, and seminar-style group work. Each lecture/seminar will be accompanied by mandatory readings (see schedule for details), which have to be completed prior to their respective sessions in the syllabus. All mandatory readings will be available on Oria or Canvas. 

Mandatory preparation for the course: Reading Ethnography 

All students will be required to read a book-length ethnography in preparation for the course (200-300 pages). Each student will read a different research monograph prior to the course. This reading will introduce students to the specific modes of anthropological research, based on long-term fieldwork and the presentation of findings in research monographs. In the course, you will be asked to answer questions regarding the methodology, field site, writing style, case studies, and theoretical concepts employed in the book. Towards the end of the course, students will each give an oral presentation about "their" book to the class. See list of the eligible books below.
