ANTH 4370 - Cultural Anthropology Research Methods

Institution:

University of Central Arkansas

Subject:

Description:

An elective in the anthropology minor. This course provides a broad introduction to issues of cultural anthropology research methods and design. Consideration is given to both quantitative and qualitative approaches to research, although more emphasis is placed on qualitative methods. No prior knowledge of methodology or statistics is expected or assumed. The course differs from other courses on research design in that it is decidedly interdisciplinary in nature (drawing on literature from anthropology, geography, political science and sociology). After this course, students will be able to design and implement your own social science research project. Three interrelated dimensions of reasearch are explored; one focuses on the theoretical foundations of social scinece research, another focuses on the various methods available to researchers for data collection and analysis, and finally we complete exercises in the practical application of various methods. Lecture and discussion. Prerequisite: ANTH 1302. On demand.
