A study of the theoretical and practical aspects of ethnomusicological field work, using the New York area as a setting for exercises and individual projects. This is the second in a sequence of two courses. Students are expected to have developed an ethnographic research project based in the New York area, and to have begun field research on the project. The focus of Field Methods II is on the analysis and interpretation of qualitative research data, and the planning and writing of a musical ethnography. The seminar is run as a writing workshop, and there will be weekly assignments that should culminate in the completion of a draft MA thesis or article-length study.
