The Comitas Institute for Anthropological Study (CIFAS) is pleased to
announce the 14th CIFAS Summer School in Ethnographic Research Methods.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this edition of the summer school will take place
online. <span></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><span style="font-family:"Cambria",serif;color:black" lang="EN-US">The goal of the
summer school is to offer training in the foundations and practice of
ethnographic methods. The faculty works closely with participants to identify
the required field methods needed to address their academic or professional
needs. The summer school is suitable for graduate and undergraduate students in
social sciences and other fields of study that use qualitative approaches (such
as education, communication, cultural studies, health, social work, development
studies, consumer behavior, among others), applied social scientists,
professionals, and researchers who have an interest in learning more about
ethnographic methods and their applications.<span></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><span style="font-family:"Cambria",serif;color:black" lang="EN-US">The social
isolation measures adopted across the planet due to the current pandemic have made
digital ethnography, in all its variations, an option of choice for researchers
who previously did not consider it. The summer school program was reformulated,
devoting more time to the discussion of digital methods and the interface between
ethnography and the field of digital humanities. <span></span></span></p>
