Course Description

Ethnography is often taught as a method of observation. This course begins from a different  premise: ethnography is a political technology of knowledge production shaped by empire, race,  capital, gender, and disciplinary power. It is also a fragile and unfinished writing practice that  scholars continually remake. This seminar treats ethnography as a site of struggle over these  questions: Who can produce knowledge? Whose worlds become legible? Which archives  endure? What research should refuse to know? And, how writing itself organizes relations of  power?
