In this course taught every other year, we will focus on methodology(methodologies) of qualitative research that serves any inquiry into the themes of language and culture. We will focus on ethnography and the intellectual foundations of this approaches. The course will consist of reading seminars where participating students present a summary of the readings with possible discussion topics, followed by discussion in class. Towards the second half of the term, students will also be required to experiment with a short ethnographic research in educational settings, and present their research result.
