Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
The methods course can only be attended in combination with the fieldwork course of the same title. They take place in joint sessions. Together they aim to provide students with the possibility to develop ethnographic skills within the framework of a joint 3 weeks field stay including its preparation and the following interpretation of data. Content-wise we will focus on aspects around environment and care. Within this larger framework students will develop their individual research interest in small groups. Some topics might be offered by the teachers. Possible themes include access to and negotiation of care ressources, but also care for ecological and built infrastructures stretching multispecies attentiveness. Students develop their research concepts, collect ethnographic data and present them in form of a research report. The research takes place 07.5.-27.05.2024. Travel costs of students will be refunded by approx. 40% from the department.
