International Summer School in Ethnography

Description

Theoretically-informed ethnographic research offers a distinctive and unique approach. The Trento Summer School has all along its history provided a forum for informal, in-depth reflection into social research methods as well as the underlying questions of social theory. 
The Summer School provides participants with an inside view on the practice and the skills of ethnographic practice across the social sciences. The School offers a forum where adepts, students, cadets and scholars can familiarise themselves with the status of the discipline, absorbing the tools as well as the ‘tricks of the trade’ directly from long-time practitioners. 
The teaching format is grounded in frontal lectures, where cutting-edge research is presented, complemented by interactive workshops, data sessions, and roundtables. Participants have a chance to present their current research projects, so as to receive commentaries and recommendations from the guest professors. Reading materials are circulated well in advance among participants, ensuring that they arrive at the in-person meeting with a shared focus.
