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

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">The goal of the Field 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,
and 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>
