Course Description:
Ethnography is a qualitative research method commonly used in the humanistic social sciences that involves naturalistic observation/interaction. Its goal is to produce richer understandings of people, practice, culture, and place by textualizing the kinetic motion of everyday life. This course introduces students to urban ethnographic research methods and their intrinsic value to the field of Urban Studies. By reading and analyzing a broad array of urban ethnographic work from across the globe, students will gain a better understanding of ethnographic writing and the practice of urban ethnography and what it has to offer. This course aims to expose you to a variety of urban contexts beyond EuroAmerica and in doing so build your reading, writing, interpretation, and analytical skills. |
