Objectives and Contextualisation
General objectives:
- To orient the investigation towards the understanding of the emerging processes of adaptation of culturally diverse communities.
- To know the epistemological and methodological problems that cross-cultural comparison entails.
- To know the value of ethnographic research for the design of interventions that help improve aspects of social life.
Objectives Projects I:
To train students in the logic and meaning of academic research and, specifically, to introduce them to all phases of the research process in social and cultural anthropology based on their research proposals and examples of completed and ongoing projects. The seminar combines work and immediate feedback in the classroom in group and individual tutoring in the middle and at the end of its development, with the aim of having each student complete the preparation of their research proposal.
Competences
- Carry out ground-breaking, flexible research in anthropology by applying theories and methodologies and using appropriate data collection and analysis techniques.
- Carry out theoretical ethnographic research into anthropological topics linked to identity and transnationality.
- Communicate and justify conclusions clearly and unambiguously to both specialised and non-specialised audiences.
- Design programmes of social intervention and cooperation and development and analyse their cultural appropriateness.
- Identify, in ethnographic fieldwork, different outlooks corresponding to ethnic, class, gender and age inequalities and identities.
- Integrate knowledge and use it to make judgements in complex situations, with incomplete information, while keeping in mind social and ethical responsibilities.
- Know the methodological and epistemological developments in the fields of anthropology research and social intervention in contexts of cultural diversity.
- Make cross-cultural comparisons using the various procedures in anthropology.
- Solve problems in new or little-known situations within broader (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to the field of study.
- Systematically link up concepts, and theories within the discipline so as to analyse specific ethnographic contexts.
- Use information and communication technologies efficiently to acquire, create and spread knowledge.
- Work in teams, generating synergies in work environments where different people need to collaborate and coordinate themselves.
Learning Outcomes
- Apply the knowledge acquired to problem-solving in new or unfamiliar intervention contexts of applied anthropology.
- Discern the differential use of cross-cultural ethnographic archives and inventories of codified ethnographic data.
- Establish relationships and networks between persons in the context of research into diversity.
- Identify cross-cultural ethnographic archives and their historical and current usefulness in anthropology research.
- Identify important elements in institutional documents and/or scientific texts that help to formulate judgments and reflect on social and ethical responsibilities in anthropology.
- Identify the appropriateness of programmes for social intervention and/or cooperation and development in a specific social and cultural context.
- Identify the dialectic between particularity and comparison that permeates the whole history of anthropology in theoretical ethnographic documents.
- Identify the research methods used in specific ethnographic research projects.
- Identify, in the work of an ethnographer, different outlooks corresponding to ethnic, class, gender and age inequalities and identities.
- In ethnographic monographs, identify differences that correspond to national and ethnic knowledge contexts, from different gender perspectives.
- Present conclusions from research work in anthropology.
- Systematically link up concepts, and theories within the discipline that fit in with the specific ethnographic research context.

II. Documentation, comparison, and reflections based on multiple sources. From experience and personal equation to the justification of the proposal. Clarity, relevance, originality, and viability.
The formal phases of the elaboration of a proposal
I: Positioning the proposal in a thematic area and the search for a perspective of research. The initial revision of the literature justifying the concrete research proposal.
II: Setting realistic goals and initial methodological decisions. The choice of units of analysis and observation. Possible difficulties and limitations.
III: The review, assessment, and selection of the techniques of case selection, data collection, and analysis. Ensuring data quality.
IV: The internal consistency between objectives, questions, hypotheses, and methodology. Programming and complete revision of the proposal.
V: Identification and defense of the expected contribution and the scientific and social implications. Identification, formulation, and resolution of ethical dilemmas of the research proposal. Positionality. Recapitulation.

Assessment
This section of the Study Guide contains all information related to the process of evaluation of the module.
Assessment of the module: In order to pass the module, the following aspects are taken into account:
- Regular assistance and active participation: First, to ensure that the expected learning results are obtained, we consider it fundamental that students assist the classes and participate actively in them. For this reason, the extent to which students participate in classes, presentations, discussions, training sessions is evaluated. This participation is considered in the final note for each course.
- Continued assessment of the blocks: Second, each course or block proposes one or multiple activities that allow a continued assessment of the learning process. The activities can vary from a written test to a presentation in class, computer lab assignments, a review of a few articles or chapters, or a short essay, among others. Jointly, the evaluations for the different courses that make up the module (30%) and the active participation in these courses (20%) constitute 50% of the final grade of the module. The deadlines for these activities are indicated by the lecturers.
- Evaluation of the final paper for the module: Last, the grade obtained on a final paper constitutes the remaining 50% of the final grade for the module. In the case of the present module (Common Module 1), the general evaluation consists of a mandatory exposition for all students, the elaboration of a research design that forms the first step of the elaboration of the Master Thesis (TFM), following the indications explained in Projects I. It is evaluated to what extent each student has acquired the competence to (1) propose a relevant and pertinent research problem; (2) conduct a search for bibliographical sources and use them appropriately; (3) define the object of study and the objectives of the investigation; (4) define a theoretical orientationwithinthe discipline; (5) define a theoretical framework in function of the object and objectives; (6) delimit the studied group, define the unit of analysis and the units of observation; (7) explain the adopted method of case selection or sampling (if the type of work requires it); (8) propose and justify the techniques for the collection and analysis of data adapted to the object and objectives of study. The deadline for the submission of the final paper is indicated in the teaching plan and calendar of the Master.
It is essential to respect the deadlines.
Each lecturer determines the way in which papers are to be submitted (through the Campus Virtual, by e-mail) and informs students in the beginning of their block regarding the procedure and date of revision of grades. The lecturers communicate the results of the evaluation via the Campus Virtual and establish a period of consultation before they communicate the grades to the coordinator of the module. The student can request a tutor meeting with their lecturers throughout the course if they wish to clarify some point of the contents of the course. The final grade will also be communicated through the Campus Virtual, and a grade review session will be scheduled.
General criteria: Following the evaluation regulations of studies at the UAB, the final qualification will be graded at a 0-10 scale with a single decimal. To pass the course, students will need a minimum final grade of 5.0, as a result of the assessment procedure explained above. Students will receive the qualification "Not evaluable" if they have submitted less than 30% of the assessment items. In exceptional, well-justified cases, the Committee of the Master Program may propose an alternative procedure for the evaluation. Once the subject is passed, it cannot be subjected to a new evaluation. The programming of assessment activities cannot be modified unless anexceptional and well-justified reason exists for this, in which case a new program is proposed during the term. Students who engage in misconduct (plagiarism, copying, personation, etc.) in an assessment activity will receive the grade “0” for the activity in question. In the case of misconduct in more than one assessment activity, the students involved will be given a final grade of “0” for the course. Students may not retake assessment activities in which they are found to have engaged in misconduct. Plagiarism means presenting all or part of an author’s work, whether published in print or in digital format, as one’s own, i.e., without citing it. Copying is reproducing all or a part of another student’s work. In cases of copying in which it is impossible to determine which of two students has copied the work of the other, both will be penalized. Please see the documentation of the UAB about plagiarism on: http://wuster.uab.es/web_argumenta_obert/unit_20/sot_2_01.html.
Evaluation in case of face-to-face evaluation is not possible: In the event that tests or exams cannot be taken on-site, they will be adapted to an online format made available through the UAB’s virtual tools (original weighting will be maintained). Homework, activities, and class participation will be carried out through forums, wikis, and/or discussion on Teams, etc. Lecturers will ensure that students are able to access these virtual tools or will offer them feasible alternatives.

Software
UAB students can download Microsoft Office 365 at home and/or on their laptops if they wish so: https://si-respostes.uab.cat/inici/correu/msop-microsoft-office/msop-com-em-puc-instal-lar-l-office
In addition, it is recommended that they install the ARE button in their website´s browser to access the electronic resources mentioned in the bibliography section (articles in academic journals that are not open access) from outside the UAB - https://www.uab.cat/web/our-services/access-to-electronic-resources-1345738248146.html. This (Spanish-language) video explains how to do that in 3 minutes: https://vimeo.com/516408829/9f4a1ed83d
We will also use the reference manager Mendeley in the course, and we recommend that students install it on their computers or laptops. Through the UAB, they can access the institutional license: https://www.uab.cat/web/study-and-research/mendeley-institutional-1345738248632.html.
The other programs and digital resources that we will use in the course will be communicated in the first class. All programs are installed or can be installed or accessed in the computer rooms.
