24th NCSU Ethnographic Field School When Summer, May 22 - July 13, 2017 (7.5 weeks) Where Lake Atitlán,
Guatemala What Learn how to design, conduct,
investigate and write up your own independent project while living with a
local family on the shores of Lake Atitlán, Guatemala. Throughout the
program, you will learn about the Maya while developing skills in project
design and fieldwork as you carry out your own research project. Who Whether you are an
undergraduate, a graduate student, just finished college, learning how to
collect data and talk to people is beneficial not only for those in
anthropology, but also for those in many other majors, including sociology,
international studies, public health, history, education, textiles, natural
resource management, business and management, sociolinguistics, political
science, psychology, design and engineering. Anyone interested is
encouraged to apply, especially students interested in topics such as
development, environment, globalization, social justice, tourism,
conservation, Fair Trade, textile design and entrepreneurship, language,
development, poverty and health. How See what research is really
like, do your own project, manage your own time and work according to the
needs of your topic. Challenge yourself by living in a Maya community with a
local family. We keep the seminars to a minimum so students can have enough
time to work on their projects; we want students to learn by doing, with
intensive and in-depth hands-on learning. |
