Introductory course designed to explore knowledge and techniques necessary to effectively work with Ethnoculturally diverse. Emphasis will be placed on practical application of basic skills, knowledge and techniques appropriate for culturally sensitive counselors working within educational as well as agency settings. In this seminar we will survey current issues in ethnography as a method of inquiry and as an approach to scholarly representation. Finally, we will consider how the insights generated by field research may be re-presented on the stage and how the performance of ethnography enables a somatic way of knowing, a way of knowing capable of imparting epistemic insights which are traditionally omitted from scholarly consideration. Students interested in this seminar need not have any prior knowledge of performance or ethnography.
All classes are contingent on enrollments.
