MEETS with PSYC 546 section MK - This is a two-semester practicum, where students will conduct an ethnography in a local community setting using a participatory/collaborative methodology. In this course we will cover both participatory/collaborative methods and ethnographic fieldwork. Students will select a community setting or engage in fieldwork in a setting they are already in. and ideally tie this course into their thesis/dissertation work. The approach of this course is interdisciplinary, or metadisciplinary, but is more centered in cultural-community psychology, anthropology, and Indigenous studies. We will examine the theory, method and practice of community-based research and ethnography, with a particular focus on the newer methods being called participatory action research (PAR), community-based participatory research (CBPR), and collaborative ethnography in the context of decolonizing methodologies.
