Overview of class

This class is a hands-on introduction to qualitative research methods, with a focus on ethnography and participant-observation. Students will learn to do ethnographic research by completing five short research projects; presenting their results informally in class; and submitting a short (one page) reports on their results for each project. They will also complete one long research project. The results of this project will be presented informally while it is in progress, and formally at the end of the quarter. Students will submit a brief (2 ½ pp) proposal and bibliography for their project, and a 5 pp paper presenting their results at the end of the quarter.
