This course provides an introduction to ethnographic and qualitative research. Ethnography is the study of culture and social organization primarily through participant observation and interviewing. Ethnographic research provides descriptive and interpretative analyses of the routine practices of everyday life. Ethnographic accounts represent different ways people live and make sense of their experiences and describe the types of social organization (for example, gender relations, class systems, racial divisions, or cultural contexts) that, in part, serve to structure or pattern social behavior. Students conduct a small-scale qualitative research project, and in the process they gain skills in various qualitative research methods. This course is suitable for both undergraduate and graduate students. One purpose of the course is to help students plan for subsequent thesis research, independent study projects, or dissertation research.

This seminar explores the historical, cultural, and political relationship between America and global energy, focusing specifically on oil and natural gas. Our central objective is to examine how oil and natural gas shape our own lives and entangle us in the cultural, political, and economic lives of the rest of the world. We ask what anthropological and social science approaches might contribute to our understanding of a situation that has become, in most popular terms, a national "crisis" of global dimensions.

The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 stand as the defining moment for United States foreign policy and, perhaps more generally, United States culture in the past decade. This course examines how these attacks and the subsequent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have been represented in recent U.S. culture. Our discussions take seriously the premise that cultural texts do not simply reflect extant cultural ideas but rather play a critical role in the discursive production of competing ideas about events, their cultural significance, and their political import. We interrogate how a range of texts that includes memoir, film, fiction, memorial practices, government documents, music, and media accounts have participated in shaping cultural ideas regarding not only the events of September 11 and the United States' political, military, and cultural response to them but also debates over larger questions of race, gender, citizenship, patriotism, and the United States' role in global affairs.
