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></p>
