Courses: Field Methods in Peace & Conflict Studies (ANTHH322A01)
Fall 2007
Enrollment limited to 15 students.
This course will address the methodological, political and ethical challenges of understanding situations of conflict. We will take a critical look at traditional sources used in peace and conflict studies, such as the media, official accounts, and human rights reports, and we will explore methods of first-hand data gathering in conflict settings. During the semester, students will conduct their own research on local conflicts. Sustained attention will be paid to fieldwork methodologies, and to issues surrounding the researcher s position in social conflicts.
