Critical Social Inquiry 0307 - Division III Seminar

This seminar is organized around students' Division III (Independent Study Projects). Students are responsible for presenting their Division III research and progress with their writing several times during the semester, and for providing serious, thoughtful oral and written feedback on one another's work. We address general and shared issues of narrowing questions for investigation, conducting ethnographic and bibliographic research, incorporating sources, proper formatting and citations, the writing process, and presentation of work. In addition, resume and graduate school application writing will be discussed. The primary purpose of the seminar is to provide a supportive and stimulating intellectual community during the Division III process, and in considering next steps after graduation. Students focusing on areas related to anthropology, critical ethnography, the study of sexuality and/or reproduction, reproductive justice, history of science, critical race and gender studies, and human rights are especially encouraged to enroll, but all students and research interests are welcome. Key words: anthropology, critical ethnography, social justice, critical race and gender studies, human rights

In/Justice This course is fully remote. Students should generally expect to spend 3-6 hours per week on work outside of class.
