SOC 395-02 - Advanced Special Topic: Global Ethnography4 credits (Fall)
This class explores what is innovative (theoretically, methodologically and ethically) in approaches to global ethnography; the challenges scholars face; as well as the strengths and weaknesses of global ethnography. We will discuss how sociologists and other scholars have developed new approaches to ethnography such as multi-sited fieldwork or have navigated “newer” fields such as virtual worlds. Moreover the course provides a comparative multi-disciplinary perspective on global ethnography through the examination of a range of topics such as international social movements, global religions, global media, global environmentalism, as well as migration and immigrant settlement strategies.
Prerequisite: SOC 111 .
