Summer field school in digital ethnography accepting applications
The University of Maine Department of Anthropology is accepting applications for its new summer field school in digital ethnography.
The course, “Digital Ethnography Field School: Exploring and Documenting Maine’s Cultures of Reuse,” is designed to give students firsthand experience with the process of designing and conducting qualitative field research. Students will have the opportunity to travel throughout Maine, collecting interviews, photos and other research materials.
Cindy Isenhour, assistant professor of anthropology and climate change, and Kreg Ettenger, director of Maine Studies and the Maine Folklife Center, will lead the field school.
Undergraduate and graduate students from all departments are encouraged to apply by March 1.
More information, including an application, can be found online or by emailing cynthia.isenhour@maine.edu.
