Profile
The Master’s specialisation in Global Ethnography provides you with the opportunity to conduct a personalised three-month ethnographic field research, to gain expertise on how to study global issues on a local level and to develop excellent social scientific skills. Today people are increasingly connected across places, which redefines the local in terms of the global. Our globalising world demands comparative and holistic approaches to cultures and societies. In the master’s specialisation in Global Ethnography, you will acquire the methodological skills for the localised study of global connections, both in far away places but also closer to home in your own society. Experienced scholars will teach you how to investigate, analyse and report on pressing and contemporary societal issues, by using in-depth ethnographic research methods. You will learn how to situate the everyday practice of individuals within the complex processes of the social changes and global challenges that confront societies worldwide today.The process of doing ethnographic research enables you to develop the capacity to engage, analyse and report from a social science perspective.In the master’s specialisation Global Ethnography, you use ethnography as a method which enables you to analyse and report on a wide range of everyday practices of individuals, groups, and societies as they find themselves embedded within complex processes of social change. You will obtain know-how of studying vulnerabilities, for example ecological change and a call for sustainability, economic precariousness or the deep impact of media culture, whilst scrutinising and learning from often very local forms of resilience to such challenges.
