Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
The course offers an introduction to the practice of ethnography and has a strong focus on the practical exercise and experimentation of ethnographic research methods. Students are also guided to become attentive (everyday) observers.Starting from the historical background of ethnography and the collective reading of prescribed short texts, the central approaches of ethnography are discussed together. In this course, students will work in small groups (3-5 people). The small groups will conduct "mini-ethnographies" in freely chosen settings, write observation protocols according to instructions, and discuss these in the course. The research process will be reflected upon in the course, and emerging (ethical) challenges will be discussed. Each group will give a final presentation at the end of the course.
