Cultural Anthropology Fieldwork Journal

Cultural Anthropology Fieldwork Journal

<p><strong>Help your students apply their anthropological toolkit to the real world.</strong></p> Ethnographic fieldwork is one of the most fundamental (and for students, sometimes daunting) tools for anthropological study. In a new supplement for the introductory textbook <em>Cultural Anthropology: A Toolkit for a Global Age</em>, Ken Guest€s <em>Cultural Anthropology Fieldwork Journal</em> helps students apply the concepts they are learning in class while out in the real world. The step-by-step exercises in the <em>Fieldwork Journal</em> encourage students to observe, question, and generate their own data about the places, relationships, and networks that they may take for granted in everyday life: from friendships, family dynamics, and consumption habits to classrooms, places of worship, TV screens, and their own homes.<br /><br /> Designed to complement <em>Cultural Anthropology: A Toolkit for a Global Age</em>, every activity in the <em>Fieldwork Journal</em> enhances students€ understanding of the concepts covered in the parent textbook. When paired with each chapter€s reading, practicing fieldwork skills such as note-taking, interviewing, map-making, and drawing large-scale conclusions from careful observation will engage students more deeply in the course material. Compact and easy to use, the <em>Fieldwork Journal</em> includes space to write notes and record data.<br />
