This module introduces you to anthropology and its main research method, ethnography.

You’ll learn about how ethnography became the central method of anthropological research and the main way anthropologists write about their findings. We’ll also explore the origins of anthropology and ethnography, thinking about what these roots mean for modern anthropologists today.

This includes tackling questions about power and history and looking at new methods and theories that have changed the field. You’ll study a variety of texts to get a sense of the diversity of anthropology and its approaches.
