From the Instructor: This course introduces students with some background in anthropology to recent ethnographic work on and in the United States. While not meant to be a representative sample of ethnographic work on the U.S. per se, course readings will nonetheless familiarize students with the research of scholars studying a wide range of U.S. regions, topics, and communities. Course materials will also provide exposure to a diverse array of disciplinary traditions and subfields. The course goal is to reimagine the what, where, and how of the U.S. while also reflecting on the specific stakes, limits, and promise of U.S. focused ethnographies. Central to this course will be twice weekly, synchronous discussions via Zoom. Every Tuesday and Thursday there will be an afternoon discussion session (1-2:15 PM Pacific) and an evening discussion section (6:30-7:45 PM Pacific). Students must attend one of these discussion groups each Tuesday and Thursday throughout the duration of the class. Active participation (cameras on) in these mandatory sessions will account for 40% of student grades.
