Ethnographic Practicum
The anthropology department in cooperation with the International School is offering a one or two semester long International Ethnographic Practicum For BA, MA and PhD foreign Students in the Social Sciences and Humanities.
The practicum is designed to meet the growing global demand for ethnographic training and interesting yet accessible sites in which to undertake short/longterm field work. Students may also collect data toward the completion of BA and MA research projects at home universities in which they are enrolled. Israeli society has an unusually rich and diverse array of potential fascinating sites that students may explore and consider the ways in which they are interwoven in everyday life.
