Objectives
Students will become familiar with ethnography from three perspectives: 1) a data collection method, 2) a reflexive tool, and 3) a narrative as a data set. They will learn a variety of conventional and latest ethnographic techniques to accommodate contemporary contexts in East Asia and beyond. Students will identify various ways of approaching ethnography in conducting research and writing a thesis. They will acquire skills in a) approaching and engaging in social situations for ethnographic research and b) critically analysing and interpreting acquired field data.
This course enhances students’ qualitative data collection and analytical skills by paying particular attention to the fast-changing world and class participants’ own topics and academic interests. The course should be taken during the second semester of the programme before commencing fieldwork.
