ANTHROP 4NE3 - Narrative, Ethnography, Writing

3 unit(s)

Writing is at the heart of much of what anthropologists do. Writing up field notes and creating ethnographic narratives are tools of the trade, but so are testimonials, memoirs, poems, blogs, and novels. This course is a hands-on guide for generating and sharing practical strategies for writing in various ethnographic genres.
This course centers on ethnographic writing as ethics and a craft. It provides a step-to-step guide to producing descriptions of places, times, selves, and others.
