Programma
This course explores some key methods for fieldwork research in political and social science. We will consider the ethnographic approach and some of the theoretical, practical and ethical challenges it poses as well as some fundamental concepts (e.g. positionality, relationality and reflexivity). Among the main methods used in fieldwork-based research we will focus on interviewing, participation, and observation.
Obiettivi formativi
Participants will learn to use fieldwork as a unique resource to effectively (co-)produce knowledge for social science research. Participants are requested to read selected ethnographic work and they are strongly encouraged to share doubts and ideas from their own research projects.
