LLCU 360 Ethnographic Approaches to Language Units: 3.00
How are themes like identity, power, race, ethnicity and gender expressed through language? This discussion-based seminar considers this central question and more by delving into recent ethnographies of culture and communication from around the world. We explore both the linguistic interactions analyzed in the assigned texts and the ways in which ethnographic research is designed and conducted by different linguistic anthropologists.
