About
This course introduces students to ethics and global perspectives that shape modern ethnography, helping you design responsible, culturally grounded research for fieldwork contexts. Through interactive case discussions, practical frameworks, and reflective exercises, you will learn how to navigate informed consent, power dynamics, data stewardship, and community collaboration across diverse cultural settings. Ideal for applicants to the Isla Mujeres Ethnographic Field School, the course showcases anthropological expertise by connecting theory to real field challenges. By the end, you will be able to articulate an ethical research stance, apply cross-cultural analysis to ethnographic questions, and draft a fieldwork-ready ethics plan that improves both research quality and participant well-being.
