OLET5811: Collaborative Ethnography

2022 unit information

This unit of study provides practical training in conceptualizing and undertaking a collaborative ethnographic research project. Students will consider the features of ethnographic collaboration within particular disciplines, and the many different ways in which the researcher's cultural competency must be strengthened and interrogated for collaboration to proceed. In particular, students will explore and reflect upon ethnographic research collaborations undertaken together with individuals who are "insiders" in the research community. Students will gain an understanding of how collaboration impacts upon research ethics, plans and goals, projects and processes, and outcomes and dissemination through being supported to plan, undertake and reflect upon their own small collaborative research activity, thereby further enhancing their understanding of the benefits of collaborative ethnography for both communities and researchers.
