| Purpose: To question the process of knowledge creation in anthropological research practice including the choosing of a research field, topic and subsequent theorisation. Qualifying students are introduced to a range of research methods and against this backdrop they will be able to ethically conduct themselves well in choosing a research project within any subsequent applications of methods. Those who achieve this qualification will familiarise themselves with the most common research methods and be able to judge these methods against the assumptions and biases inherent in them. This approach will develop students' critical analytical skills as they interrogate the methods employed in the process of knowledge production in anthropology. |
