2018 Anthropology Methods Summer Workshop
Department of Anthropology, The Chinese University of Hong Kong
Purpose
The Anthropology Methods Summer
Workshop will teach students about research design and train them in
qualitative and ethnographic research methods. The students will develop
their own research proposals, with the opportunity to receive critical comments from teachers. They will also benefit from peer learning, and will
experience the advanced pedagogical techniques used at CUHK. This training and experience will broaden students’ horizons,
helping them in their future studies.
Timing
The
Workshop will be held from Friday 15 to Tuesday 19 June 2018, including morning
and afternoon class sessions, and two half-day field trips as practicum for the
topics covered in the Workshop. The Dragon Boat Festival will serve as a
setting for a practical exercise in developing observational, note-taking, and
interviewing skills.
Target Students
Students majoring or minoring in
Anthropology, Ethnology or related disciplines (e.g. Sociology, Cultural
Studies, Social History, Religion, etc.) intending to pursue postgraduate
degrees will be eligible for the Workshop. Priority will be given to senior undergraduates
and MA/MPhil students, as they will soon be applying to PhD programmes. All
students will be expected to be able to function at a high level in English
since that will be the primary language of the Workshop.

answer questions, giving participants a practical and deeper understanding of
fieldwork.
