Students will participate in a seminar group tailored to the specific methodological challenges of their particular specialisation: Global Ethnography, Visual Ethnography, or Sociology of Policy in Practice.
Admission requirements
Admission is only for CADS students who have finished the fieldwork research for their master’s thesis.
Course Description
This 5 ECTS course aims to establish the analytical connection between experience of fieldwork and the data collected during fieldwork, and the theories and epistemologies discussed in the first part of the master's programme. The focus will be on the level of analysis, the units of analysis, and the process of constructing a written academic argument and, in the case of Visual Ethnography, an audiovisual component.

Mode of instruction

Registration
Students are required to register for this course on Brightspace but do not need to register on uSis. (Registration for the exam is not required since there is no classical examination.)
