007370

This is a skills-based class designed to (1) help students conduct independent ethnographic fieldwork and (2) learn how to write an effective grant proposal. Research skills to be discussed include: sampling and research design; selecting methods appropriate for particular populations; questionnaire development; interviewing skills (including key informant interviews and focus groups); collecting narrative data; participant observation; the use of visuals and card sorts in fieldwork, and other methodological areas. Students will gain experience in using an ethnographic software package (Atlas.ti) and will learn how to code transcribed interview data. Other issues to be addressed include one's social identity as a researcher and ethical issues working with the IRB and in the field.
