This module is an advanced introduction to ethnography.<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0The course is delivered in a burst-format over one week, and features the collaborative teaching of practicing ethnographers, including both academics and professional researchers, on the island of Ireland.<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0\u2018Ethnography<\/span>\u2019\u00a0<\/span>is more than a\u00a0<\/span>\u2018method<\/span>\u2019<\/span>:\u00a0\u00a0it comprises a whole style of thought encompassing forms of observation, analysis, and writing.<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0The module therefore emphasises analysis and theory<\/span>\u00a0in addition<\/span>\u00a0to\u00a0the research practices (interviewing, participant observation, note-taking) conventionally associated with qualitative research methodology.<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0Themes covered include:<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0culture and difference, contexts and cases (working in NGOs, clinics, corporations), styles of representation and the politics of knowledge, research ethics and ethnographic engagement.<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0The module is also structured as a workshop, so that ethnographers at various stages of their careers — from students planning proposals, to dissertation writers analysing previously collected material, to research professionals who may not be based in academia — will be able to produce work within the module that relates to their respective career stages, locations, and goals.<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0This work, such as a proposal draft or a stretch of ethnographic writing, forms the basis for module assessment.<\/span><\/u><\/u><\/div>\n
