300158 Anthropological research methods (S) (WiSe 2018/2019)

Inhalt, Kommentar

Social anthropology is unique from other social science disciplines. This is largely about its methods of collecting data, of analysing and interpreting the data collected, and the methods and techniques of writing up the research. Research Methods in Social Anthropology introduces you to the main methods that are commonly applied in Social Anthropology and the central issues of the anthropological research process. This course will introduce the scope and nature of anthropological methods of enquiry, consider the role of participants and researchers in research and guide students through the application of those methods.

Course Overview:
What makes Social Anthropology different from other social science disciplines? It is its methods of collecting data, of analysing and interpreting the data collected, and the methods and techniques of writing up the research. Research Methods in Social Anthropology introduces you to the main methods that are commonly applied in Social Anthropology and the central issues of the anthropological research process. The course has three objectives:

1. To introduce the scope and nature of anthropological methods and modes of enquiry

2. To make clear the role participants and researchers play in the research process.
3. To guide students through the application of the methods to an individually chosen research question.

Learning outcomes
You will be trained in the practical and theoretical elements of anthropological methods. You are then required to apply this training to your own chosen piece of ethnographic research. By the end of the course you are expected to:

- be familiar with anthropological methods and how they are applied to research.
- be aware of the relationship between anthropological methods and specific modes of enquiry
- be familiar with some key debates surrounding anthropological methods
- be aware of your own role in the research process and able to critically reflect on the role of other ethnographers in their research.
- have developed skills in conducting ethnographic research and ethnographic writing

All students are expected to be regularly present in the sessions and participate in activities and discussion

Teilnahmevoraussetzungen, notwendige Vorkenntnisse

This course is aimed at undergraduate students who are interested in learning about different research methods used in social anthropology, and how these can be combined with ethnography. For students who feel that doing this in English may be challenging, this is a good opportunity to think through some practical issues in English and practise academic and reflective writing in English.

Assessment
All students are required to do a small piece of ethnographic fieldwork as part of this module. This consists of identifying a location and visiting on at least three occasions. Students should start thinking about where they want to conduct fieldwork as soon as possible and have made a decision by week three. Students should then begin working on this individually and complete this by week ten.

For the Studienleistung, students will prepare a class presentation on their experience of doing fieldwork. This should cover (i) your fieldwork topic (ii) your fieldwork location (iii) the techniques you used (iv) your findings (v) anything you would do differently next time (vi) your reflections on any two required pieces of literature from the course outline. Presentations will be in weeks 10-15. We will agree nearer the time who will present in which week.

For the Prüfungsleistung, students will prepare an essay that comprises two parts. In part one, you will outline (i) your fieldwork topic (ii) your fieldwork location (iii) the techniques you used (iv) your findings (v) anything you would do differently next time. In part two, choose any two research techniques covered in the course and reflect critically on their advantages and disadvantages in detail. You should use relevant literature from this outline in your essay and it is essential to do in part two. The entire essay will be 10-15 pages in length. In all cases, written work should be well structured and properly referenced. Deadline TBC.
