Methodology & Fieldwork Stories
- Fieldwork
- Informant (as opposed to a subject)
- Researcher
- insider (native)
- outsider
- male
- female
Both genders may experience limitations based on the rules for social interaction for men and women in the cultures in which they are studying...therefore, anthropologists have often traveled and studied in paris (men and women) and studies of cultures are often repeated to take into account the different experiences in a culture which may be afforded to different researchers.
- Participant Observation: participating as is appropriate and observing while living within a culture for a significant period of time (years)-investigating social life by participating in it. By being there in real situations and observing from a theoretically informed perspective.
- establishing Rapport
- working in unfamiliar/familiar environments (culture shock)
- acquiring a principal informant
- collecting EMIC & ETIC data
- Observation of Real versus Ideal
- Ethnocentrism as the enemy of data collection
- Ethics:
- responsibility to the communities and people that you study
- responsibility to the academic community to share your data
- responsibility to your funders
- The researcher's Gaze: the problem of power
- Observer's Bias (Gumperz)
- Being the "TOWN IDIOT"-advantages and disadvantages

(1) What is the temperature matrix of Mayan medicinal plants and how are these indicated in Yucatec & Cakchiquel Maya according to traditional healers
(2) Is there a dialectal difference between Belizean Creole speakers in the North American diaspora? Do these differ from the Creole spoken in belize? What are the proceses that create and maintain these differences?
(4) How do the Garifuna of Honduras remember their pilgrimage from St. Vincent to Coastal Honduras: an ethnohistory through memory.
(3) Student’s Experiences with embodied practice as mediated by culture: How does culture create self perception of one’s body and how is one’s body a reflection of the culture?
(4) "Happiness"-How do members of modern Western Culture and the Search for Meaningful Experience? Looking to the Eastern Traditions
