School in Ethnographic Research Methods. In 2022, the course will take place in

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 Field
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, human ecology,
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>
