Overview of class

In this course—which is the second in a two-course sequence across Spring and Fall quarters intended to teach professional-level qualitative research skills—you will learn and practice the methods of participant-observation (often called "ethnography") and interviewing. Continuing your original research project from the Spring quarter, you will receive advanced training in conducting ethnographic research across multiple research sites, advanced interviewing techniques, and writing qualitative research reports in the social sciences. By the end of the course, you will complete a conference-ready final paper that draws on your fieldwork to address how communication works in everyday life and/or the role of communication in the wider social world.
