Courses for applied ethnography & design thinking open this spring
Dear colleagues,
I am writing to say, we opened up 3 courses for this spring. Online, friendly to most timezones. We hope you will help us spread the word!
Who are we and what are these courses for Namla is a little cooperation of international freelancers in the Netherlands who, after our own struggles in shaping careers for ourselves as anthropology graduates outside of academia, built a course for those who come after us. Our course mimics a setting you could find in different types of jobs, whether in business, NGO, government or consultancy. We teach participants how to make ethnography rapid and iterative, as this is a way many employers and funders can grasp better what our skills are. Participants experience a process of ‘creating innovation and impact while using your deep nuanced ethnography skills’. This serves as a super quick, 2 week way of figuring out if this kind of work would suit you, and thus (whether you love it or hate it) helps you make your efforts in job or project searching more targeted, and hopefully more fruitful. And then once you're in that job interview or funding presentation, you have language for what you can offer, that the people across from you also understand. In the last 5 years, over 200 people have taken this course and rated it valuable.
The dates and options We offer three cohorts this spring: March 31-April 11: participants (recommended level: last year of Bachelors studies up to retirement age) will be placed in teams who do a spontaneous project together. Tickets for this course are on Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/namla-team-bootcamp-march-31-april-11-tickets-12 72419032579 April 28-May 9: a special edition for researchers (people in academic career tracks). To find out what to do next to your part time appointment, how to attract private funding to supplement the budgets that are being cut, or maybe you would like to start an NGO after your PhD in the field of your expertise? This course is organised in collaboration with University of Amsterdam and Netherlands School for Social Anthropology, and the pricing is higher; its intended that a university pays for their employee through a professional development budget of some sort. But reach out, there might be options to find. Here is the poster & sign up info: https://researcher-bootcamp-namla.tiiny.site/ May 19-May 30: same as first, participants will be placed in teams. Tickets are on eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/namla-team-bootcamp-may-19th-may-30th-tickets-12 80939798419
Please recommend these to your students, your colleagues, anyone who is searching for how to make the most out of their ethnography career dreams!
