This course offers students the possibility to acquire fieldwork skills and get fieldwork experience. During the course students will discuss and practice how anthropologists choose a research topic, choose their methods of conducting fieldwork, plan a research project, analyse data, and write an ethnographic account. Ethical issues concerning anthropological fieldwork will also be thoroughly discussed and offer opportunities for reflexivity. Students will learn and acquire experience of observing, recording and organizing fieldnotes, conducting interviews, and using technological equipment during their fieldwork. By going out in the field and practice students will learn to apply anthropological methodology, while they will also have the opportunity to organize their own research proposal, set research questions and organize their fieldwork.
