Law, Ideology and Social Change I

June 9, 2016

Prof. Mark Goodale UNIL

Matthew Engelke, LSE

General Description:

This three-module program will give doctoral students the opportunity to study ethnographic methods with international experts, conduct a two-week training field school in Bolivia under the supervision of Professor Mark Goodale and Bolivian scholars, and have the opportunity to present research findings and receive both peer-to-peer feedback and advice from international anthropologists at the conclusion of the program.

The theme for the 3-part program is "Law, Ideology, and Social Change." However, students will be welcome from all subfields and regional interests. The theme is meant to track the ongoing research project of the lead professor (Goodale) who will use existing contacts and networks to guide students in their training program.

Students will participate in a full-day session that will include: an overview of the program, training in ethnographic methods and challenges, detailed background to the history, politics, and culture of Bolivia, and a lecture by Professor Matthew Engelke from the London School of Economics.
