This course explores the craft of ethnography as a mode of research and writing fundamental to anthropology. Through the close reading of several ethnographic works, we will consider the intertwining of description, local concepts, and analysis. We will undertake several observation and writing exercises to learn how to write in an ethnographic mode and translate field research into lively texts.

Students praised Professor Khan’s ability to run a unique and intellectually stimulating class. Many students agreed that the professor carefully constructed the course syl abus, and effectively facilitated engaging class discussions. Some students felt that the reading load was so heavy it diminished the ability to go in-depth on some topics. A general consensus was that this class could be improved by having class participation count toward the final grade. Prospective students should avoid taking this class if they have a heavy work load, because it is extremely demanding.
