Course overview
This course introduces learners to linguistic ethnography as a means of making visible the ways in which people use and experience language in their social and professional lives. Learners engage with key concepts and methods in linguistic ethnography, building on and applying conceptual and analytical skills developed in the first year of the major. Through an inquiry-based approach, learners augment their skills in explicating the linguistic and social practices that shape peoples daily lives from the standpoint of direct experience.
