14th CIFAS Summer School in Ethnographic Research Methods
July 19 to 30, 2021 – 7 PM to 9:30 PM (EDT time)
The Comitas Institute for Anthropological Study (CIFAS) is pleased to
announce the 14th CIFAS Summer School in Ethnographic Research Methods. Due
to the COVID-19 pandemic, this edition of the summer school will take place
online.
The goal of the summer school is to offer training in the foundations and
practice of ethnographic methods. The faculty works closely with
participants to identify the required field methods needed to address their
academic or professional needs. The summer school is suitable for graduate
and undergraduate students in social sciences and other fields of study
that use qualitative approaches (such as education, communication, cultural
studies, health, social work, development studies, consumer behavior, among
others), applied social scientists, professionals, and researchers who have
an interest in learning more about ethnographic methods and their
applications.
The social isolation measures adopted across the planet due to the current
pandemic have made digital ethnography, in all its variations, an option of
choice for researchers who previously did not consider it. The summer
school program was reformulated, devoting more time to the discussion of
digital methods and the interface between ethnography and the field of
digital humanities.
Program:
-
Class 1 (Jul 19): Foundations of ethnographic research

Class 2 (Jul 20): Theory and practice: social theories in the field
