Ethnographic Field School

Since 2013, I have been leading an ethnographic field school that conducts community-based research coupled with ethnographic methods training in Belize, an English-speaking country in Central America!

Students who participate in this field school:

• experience Belizean culture for one month doing ethnography;
• are a part of a community-based research project on agricultural development within northern Belize farming communities;
• develop skills in ethnographic methods of data collection; and
• collaborate on an original ethnographic field report, which may lead to presentations at regional, national and international conferences as well as publications.

In addition to conducting community-based research, on students will visit Maya ruins and explore Belize's flora and fauna. Locations are subject to change and may be cancelled due to weather or other factors beyond our control.
