The Ethnographic Fieldwork course offers students a combination of practical and analytical learning experiences. Students develop their knowledge and skills in research methods by practicing ethnography. The course includes training through hands-on exercises and concept-driven discussion, followed by an independent period of field research that will inform the student's case study essay. The course reviews a range of methodological approaches to fieldwork and explores key ethical, political and practical issues in the doing and writing of ethnography and anthropology. The course guides students in their development of critical perspectives on human society and culture through focussed research and structured experience.

ANTH3090 includes exercises and/or instructions in interviewing, observation, note taking, reflection, coding, thematic analysis, and presentation. Readings are chosen to contribute theoretical background, methodological guidance and case study interest. The course demonstrates the value of anthropological research techniques, insights, and skills and will involve the student directly in links between the discipline of anthropology and the community. For the ‘fieldwork’ period, each student develops a case study to be undertaken on campus. Students will be supported by the course coordinator and a peer group of students with similar thematic interests. In combination with literature review and conceptual thinking, students use their fieldwork data for the development of an essay. During the semester, students will receive feedback on their work as they undertake assessed preparation, reporting and reflection. At the end of semester students report on their case study in the essay.

Learning period Activity type Topic
Week 1

(24 Feb - 02 Mar)

Seminar

Introduction

Class discussion about expectations, responsibilities and the basics of ethnography. Students will form pairs, and have a brief conversation about their experiences of anthropology and what might be an interesting case study on campus to undertake during the course. Students record these conversations in a separate field notebook. We finish with a class discussion about the themes emerging from the written notes about the experiences and case studies. We will organise thematic peer groups for on-campus ethnographic fieldwork.

Introduction to ethnography, fieldwork & overview

What is the theory and practice of ethnography? You are expected to have read the first chapter of the text book (Madden 2017), Hart (1988) and the website 'Fieldwork: Making Anthropological Knowledge' prior to attending the class.

Week 2

(03 Mar - 09 Mar)

Seminar

Observation

How can you plan and structure seeing? This class will begin with a brief unstructured observation, followed by discussion and a short period of more structured observation. Students make written notes in their field notebook. To prepare for the observations, students should read Price (2007)

'The field' and ethnographic observation

Where is the field? If the field is traditionally considered a far off-place in anthropology, what about ethnography done at home? Do we need to think of the field as a strange place in order for ethnographic practice to work? To prepare, students must read Madden, chapter 2 and chapter 5.

Week 3

(10 Mar - 16 Mar)

Seminar

Ethics and subjectivity

In pairs, students will have a conversation about ethics and subjectivity in research. Students take written notes during these conversations. In the final discussion, we aim to identify themes emerging from the notes.

Planning ethnographic research and ethics

What are the moral and ethical dimensions of contemporary ethnographic research? We will consider what kinds of methods are appropriate where, for whom and when (Readings: Schepper-Hughes 2009 and Madden chapter 4).

Week 4

(17 Mar - 23 Mar)

Seminar

'The Group'

In pairs, students will interview one another and take notes about the group chosen for preliminary study. What are some of the key defining characteristics of the group, what forms of diversity exist, and what makes the project interesting? In preparation, read Spradley (1979) on interview techniques.

The question of group, community & society

We will discuss how others have described the problem of writing about ムcommunityメ and examine anthropological concepts such as ムgroupメ and ムsocietyメ. For discussion, make notes about your own case study and the nature of the group or community based on the approaches described in the readings.

Week 5

(24 Mar - 30 Mar)

Seminar

Coding

Writing fieldnotes and interpreting their contents. How do anthropologists construct field notes (about the nature of society, group or community, for example)? We will discuss the practice of coding and preliminary analysis of data. Bring your preliminary bibliography and any annotations you have made to class to assist in discussion.

Interpreting human worlds

How do we turn the experiences and observations from the field into research data? What kind of relationship is there between observation and description? At what point does interpretive work begin? What does Clifford mean by ethnographic authority? In this week we will think about the stories ethnographers tell as well as how they go about telling them. Prepare by reading the Madden text (chapters 7 and 8) and Clifford's (2007) article. What do you think of Clifford's argument about ethnographic authority?

Week 6

(31 Mar - 06 Apr)

Seminar

Questions and Planning

In groups, students discuss their draft pre-fieldwork reports, including the research question for their case study. Students also work to devise preliminary guides for interviews and observations. What relevant anthropological literature is available about this? What is practically required at each step from here to complete the case study? Students make written notes in their field notebook about these conversations.

Approaches to ethnographic fieldwork

How do we link anthropological concepts and theory to ethnographic data? How do we come up with a good research question?

Week 7
