Final Ethnographic Project:
As a final project, you will be conducting an ethnographic study examining South Asian students’ perceptions of issues in contemporary South Asia. You will combine primary data in the form of interviews with secondary library-based research to write a 3000 word paper.

COURSE DESCRIPTION AND OBJECTIVES
This course provides a broad introduction to the cultural ideologies and practices that have shaped and continue to shape South Asia, which includes the countries of Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, and Bangladesh. Central themes of the course include: colonialism, Independence and nationalism; kinship, gender, and sexuality; caste and class; religious pluralism and communalism; development and the environment; and popular culture. We will explore these themes through the reading of ethnographic monographs, excerpts from a number of ethnographies, scholarly articles, and ethnographic films, and through media representations of South Asia. Students are also encouraged to attend additional lectures, film screenings, and cultural events that deal with South Asian cultures. This course is also counts towards the writing-intensive requirement. Therefore, you will have a number of writing assignments and activities designed to improve your analytical writing skills.
By the end of the course, you will be able to:
1. Identify the countries located in South Asia, major cities within these countries, and key natural features on a map.
2. Relate the general narrative of South Asian history, including but not limited to: colonization and Independence, Partition, the Green Revolution, economic liberalization, and contemporary nationalist movements.
3. Discuss major social institutions in South Asia, including the family, caste group (jati), religion, and nation.
4. Identify the ways in which gender, caste, class, ethnicity, and religion intersect for people within South Asian cultures.
5. Critically engage with anthropological writing, research, and theory.
6. Write about South Asia in a scholarly manner.

At this time I would suggest that you read over your transcripts to find patterns. Below are some questions to get you thinking. Write down your hunches as you go.

?
Do you informants talk about an issue in a similar way?
?
Do they use common vocabulary?
?
Do they say the same things?
?
Do they talk about engaging in the same sets of practices?

Are there differences that you think are important? NOT count toward the 4-5 pieces of literature. Use the ethnographies that we read in class as models for integrating primary data (interviews, observations) and the findings from other studies
