Prerequisite: ANTH 410 or consent of instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
Examines strategies for the exploration and analysis of anthropological data in the form of words and documents. Emphasizes the hands-on application of these strategies to the analysis and interpretation of real data sets collected by the students. Covers data reduction; text management and retrieval; coding; within-, between-, and cross-case analyses; data matrices; critical analysis of anthropological documents; content analysis; validity and reliability issues; and the preparation of research reports. Prerequisite: ANTH 410.

3.00 - 4.00 Credits
Many scholars now question the unbroachable theoretical divide between the humanities and the social sciences, the unique authority of the scholar/author, and the invisibility of the reader in producing scholarly texts. Focusing on the ways in which scholars are also authors, we explore current debates by reading a selection of contemporary anthropological texts (and some prescient precursors) that boldly experiment with how ethnography is written. Students will try their hand at experimenting with several ethnographic writing styles themselves. 3 undergraduate hours. 4 graduate hours. Prerequisite: This course is especially designed for undergraduate students who have already taken at least one 300-level course in cultural anthropology, and graduate students in cultural anthropology, writing studies, and education. Other students should contact the instructor.
