    3.00 Credits
    University of Pennsylvania

    Rabberman. Have you ever noticed that scholars in different academic disciplines seem to speak different languages Have you wondered how scholars put together a plan for their research, explain their findings, and organize and write their papers This class is designed to introduce MLA students and other advanced students to the research and writing conventions used by scholars in the arts and sciences. With attention to disciplines in the humanities, social sciences, and sciences, we will identify and explore some of the theories, sources, language, and qualitative and quantitative methodologies that scholars use as they conduct original research in their fields. Throughout the class, we'll also discuss writing conventions across the arts and sciences, with special attention to the structure of argument; the use of evidence; voice and style in both traditional academic writing and more innovative forms of writing; and documentation conventions. Students will develop an original research project through incremental writing assignments, and will write a formal research proposal (15-20 pages), which can be used as their Capstone proposal if they wish.

  • FOLK 543: Ethnographic Writing

    3.00 Credits
    University of Pennsylvania

    Rabberman, Theophano. Ethnograpic research has brought anthropologists and folklorist, sociologists and oral historians face to face with some compelling challenges as they describe specific social and cultual groups to a variety of audiences: insiders and outsiders, academics and lay audiences. Attempting to be both scientific and humanistic, ethnograhy has been accused of being neither. How can ethnographers best understand their impact on the groups they study, and the impact of their research on their own identity How can ethnographers balance their personal agendas (related for example to political and ideological goals, particulary Feminism and anti-imperalism) with an academic quest to produce "scientific," well- supported research And how have ethnographers experimented with style and genre to break the chains of traditional ethnographic writing and better represent their experience in the field
