Womanist Ethnography

3 credits · Graduate School

This course introduces students to womanist ethnography generated by Black and Brown women, primarily of the US, who identify as womanist and whose research approach is ethnographic and centered around the lives of black diasporic experience in religion and society. This class re-situates knowledge production by decentering notions of "objective" vs. "subjective" vs. "intersubjective" vs. "intrapsychic" and directs our attention to narrative, stories, and process as epistemological sources of theory and practice.[3] Ms. Sheppard
