It is a qualitative, rather than a quantitative, type of research. One does ethnography, and thus it's a process. But an ethnography is also a product: the outcome of the ethnographic process is an ethnography. In-depth studies and discussions of classic and contemporary ethnographies in multiple Asian contexts that focus on themes like religion, health, economics, and sexuality in writing, photography, and film at once illustrate various methods involved in doing ethnography and illuminate why scholars have for decades studied and represented Asia through ethnography. The methods of ethnography are never divorced from the motivations of the scholars, and thus it is crucial to probe critically and collectively what ethnography is (theory), how it is done (practice), and why is it worth doing generally and in Asian contexts in particular. ### requirements text Senior standing ### credits min 3 ### credits max 3 ### credit offering ids * 1272:185:026161 ### llm job id enrich-8b774950c2b6adfdc46d1b82 ### llm output id e057a4c1da620a2d4347674e202c336d3d46940b6210afc80c7fa8e62fb62eab ### llm model nvidia/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-NVFP4 ### llm model revision 1355db6a052410cfd62085d94b58866fd0f2c3c5 ### llm task version 14 ### llm search status valid ### llm summary ASIAN 655 explores ethnographic theory and practice through studies of Asian contexts, focusing on writing, photography, and film. ### llm topics * Religion, health, economics, and sexuality in Asia * Representation in writing, photography, and film * Classic and contemporary ethnographies ### llm skills * Writing ethnographies * Ethnographic research methods * Critical analysis of ethnographic theory and practice ### llm assumed background None recorded. ### llm search phrases * ethnography methods Asia * qualitative research writing * anthropology fieldwork theory * Asian cultures representation ### llm requirements status valid ### llm student summary status valid ### llm experience status insufficient\_evidence ### catalog variants None recorded. ### student summary #### context hash f3d17f33644faf8d4fb6e8afc22ba349e6e33590d09b7ede322249f3c09a8050 #### course id ASIAN 655 #### current instructors ```json [ { "instructor_uid": "instructor_e645ec415e920587e1cd491d", "message": "No course-specific reviews available", "name": "Anthony Cerulli", "review_status": "no_course_reviews", "rmp_instructor_id": "rmp:2833959", "summary": [ { "citations": [ { "course_id": "ASIAN 655", "run_id": "20260907T155543-ce3781c4", "section_number": 1, "source_course_id": "498fa02e-f0dc-3621-a171-d89bf7eb6c23", "source_record": { "entity_id": "498fa02e-f0dc-3621-a171-d89bf7eb6c23", "file": "tables/observations.parquet", "kind": "grades", "source": "madgrades" }, "table": "section_grades_latest", "term_id": "1232", "type": "grade" }, { "course_id": "ASIAN 655", "run_id": "20260907T155543-ce3781c4", "section_number": 1, "source_course_id": "498fa02e-f0dc-3621-a171-d89bf7eb6c23", "source_record": { "entity_id": "498fa02e-f0dc-3621-a171-d89bf7eb6c23", "file": "tables/observations.parquet", "kind": "grades", "source": "madgrades" }, "table": "section_grades_latest", "term_id": "1244", "type": "grade" } ], "text": "Recent recorded grades — Fall 2022: 4.00 GPA, 100.0% A/AB (n=8 letter grades); Spring 2024: 3.95 GPA, 100.0% A/AB (n=10 letter grades)." } ] } ] ``` #### difficulty workload None recorded. #### errors None recorded. #### historical context None recorded. #### message No course-specific reviews available #### offered true #### profile hash 672f506f2fc2f46a071b9777f4a92cc197b2ccdeef25590e9285146d8c7e7f90 #### quick take Recent recorded grades — Fall 2022: 4.00 GPA, 100.0% A/AB (n=8 letter grades); Spring 2024: 3.95 GPA, 100.0% A/AB (n=10 letter grades). ```json { "citations": [ { "course_id": "ASIAN 655", "run_id": "20260907T155543-ce3781c4", "source_record": { "entity_id": "498fa02e-f0dc-3621-a171-d89bf7eb6c23", "file": "tables/observations.parquet", "kind": "grades", "source": "madgrades" }, "table": "grades_latest", "term_id": "1232", "type": "grade" }, { "course_id": "ASIAN 655", "run_id": "20260907T155543-ce3781c4", "source_record": { "entity_id": "498fa02e-f0dc-3621-a171-d89bf7eb6c23", "file": "tables/observations.parquet", "kind": "grades", "source": "madgrades" }, "table": "grades_latest", "term_id": "1244", "type": "grade" } ] } ``` #### student experience None recorded. #### task hash 74fb0997943e888960bbc9e47db8c4fd12e4292d55c20509d8d89db6a9910f68 #### teaching history ANTHONY CERULLI is recorded teaching in Fall 2022, Spring 2024.
