This is a hands-on course that teaches students how to make use of qualitative research methods as a research strategy to collect and analyze empirical evidence to form explanations about human behavior. First, students learn how qualitative methods differ from quantitative methods and how they can complement each other. They then learn about different types of qualitative research such as ethno-historical documentation, analysis of archival records, interviews, direct observation, participant observation, and analysis of cultural artifacts are discussed. At this point they work in groups to choose a particular question(s) of interest, collect data from multiple sources of qualitative evidence, and then link their data to an analysis of social phenomena. Designed for juniors and seniors in the social sciences, but others can take this course with the consent of the instructor.

4.00 Credits
This course looks at tourism from a holistic, anthropological perspective. This study of tourism allows for the investigation of many interrelated areas of human behavior, some of which are acculturation, authenticity, identity construction and consumption. It explores incentives and impacts for both the tourist and the local populations who come in contact with the tourists. For example, tourism generates social, economic and environmental changes in communities, religions, and nations, both positive and negative, while at the same time it also creates transformative experiences for tourists. Many different types of tourism have been identified including slum, sex, nautical, sacred, disaster, archaeological, wildlife, war, heritage, to name just a few, all of which act as mediums of cultural exchange which both affect and construct the worlds of those involved. Students who are concerned with globalization, environmental sustainability, and social stratification will find this course of particular interest. No prerequisites. Open to all students in all majors.
