Q Rationale Before going into the field, anthropologists do background research to see what is already known about the group or topic that they are studying. For your ethnography, you will supplement your personal research with published research. Locate three sources about the Hamar culture. One of those must be a credible academic source (e.g. professional journal article, book, encyclopedia, or website ending in .org, .edu, or .gov) about the Hamar. Do NOT use Wikipedia, as it is not a reliable source. Use the SLCC Markosian Library website as a starting point for your academic source and search for anthropology, sociology, or psychology papers that discuss the Hamar. Remember, you are trying to find at least one source about the culture of the Hamar, not just their history, so try search terms like "Hamar anthropology" or "Hamar culture". If you are not sure if your sources are appropriate, or if you are having difficulty finding academic sources that address your specific ethnographic group, please contact me for help. Instructions In a 1-2 page Chicago Style paper with a title page, summarize the information from each of the three sources you find. Include a short introduction paragraph, one summary paragraph for each source, and a short conclusion. A summary covers all the key points of the article, and lays out the author's arguments and conclusions. Be sure to include in-text citations in your summary paragraphs for both direct quotes and summarized/paraphrased material, and provide a complete Chicago Style reference for each source on a separate References page at the end of your paper. Review the Writing in Chicago Style page for help with in-text citations, references, and formatting. You can also take a look at a former student's paper Actions as an example. Objectives The goals of this assignment are to meet student learning objectives including: • Understanding of the cultural diversity found throughout the world; • Identifying ethnocentrism and communicating effectively about diverse cultural practices from a cultural relativity perspective; • Understanding the methods used by cultural anthropologists.
