ANT 360 - Doing Anthropology: An Introduction to Ethnographic Methods

3 Cr.

This course will expose students to how cultural anthropologists do anthropology. Students will write an “ethnography” by becoming both “participant” and “observer” and conducting “ethnographic interviews” with “respondents” in the “field.” Students will be encouraged to select a “cultural scene” that is compatible with their own ethnicity, religion, career, or personal interests (e.g., volunteer fire hall, police precinct, Bible discussion groups, and even a tavern pool/dart team). Meets SUNY General Education requirement for Social Sciences (SS) (Usually offered Spring semester.)

Pre-Requisites: ANT 102 and/or permission of the instructor.
