AST 336 - Engaged Ethnography

Institution:

Cabrini University - Closed

Subject:

American Studies

Description:

This course explores the ways in which ethnography (writing about culture) can be viewed in terms of how communities past and present have come together to tell stories or create an historical record about themselves. Our readings will explore how various writers, researchers, artists, activists, scholars, community organizers and public intellectuals connect historical traditions with contemporary practices of lively engagement with social issues. Students will also engage in some hands-on practice in anthropological and ethnographic methodology: collecting, gathering, and producing oral historical accounts. Offered as required. (Formerly offered as HIS 336.) 3 credits
