Syllabus: We explore the ways anthropologists and sociologists have engaged in research textually, visually and theoretically to understand the everyday contexts of social life in city streets, workplaces, schools, farms, public and open spaces, the home, entertainment and tourist sites. This unit positions students to use and develop their knowledge so they, too, can 'do' - rather than just 'read' - anthropology or sociology. In doing so, students deploy observation and interviewing methods to examine small, particular aspects of the cultures of everyday life.
