ETHN 201 - Doing Musical Ethnography

FC CNDP, DDHU CD WINT
4 credits
Music ethnography is a key methodology in the discipline of ethnomusicology. This course introduces ethnographic research methods (i.e. fieldwork) through reading classic and contemporary ethnographies, fieldwork manuals, and direct exposure to the work of practicing ethnomusicologists who ground their own work in diverse approaches to ethnomusicological research in the 21st century. Using tools and practices from the course, students will design their own ethnographic research projects about a musical community and conduct fieldwork throughout the semester that culminates in writing a musical ethnography.
Prerequisites & Notes: ETHN 100 or CMUS 103 recommended.
