ANTH 572X - Community-based Research Metho

Credits: Variable

Anthropologists are increasingly involved in community-based research activities, which require knowledge and skills about working in and with communities. This course uses a mixed lecture/seminar format to provide students with background, tools and experiences in community-based research methods and practice. Activities will focus on initial project development, including ethical considerations in developing and maintaining community partnerships, and an introduction to research design, survey methods, interview and focus group techniques and quantitative and qualitative data analysis. Students will have the opportunity to engage directly in field research through collaboration with a local community partner. Offered Spring
