Critical Race and Ethnic Studies

CRES 209 Ethnographies of Empire

Studies ethnography in contexts of war, empire, and militarism. Includes readings of ethnographies that chronicle the contours of colonial violence and asks: What work does ethnography do? What work must it do? In our timeline of genocide and endless militarism, does ethnography matter and why? Course studies not only the work of those subject to the colonial state violence, but also the work of the interview itself and the ethics of research methods.
