Tóm tắt
This article discusses the value of an ethnographic interview assignment in an introductory-level anthropology course for stimulating intercultural engagement among college students. While colleges often seem to offer an ideal social environment for intercultural engagement, intergroup avoidance is a widespread problem. The assignment that I evaluate in this article asks students to carry out semi-structured ethnographic interviews with peers who are from different cultural backgrounds than themselves. Evidence gathered through analysis of students’ written reflections, a survey, and a focus group discussion suggests that this type of activity is an impactful learning experience for students in the course and is also valued by international students and others who volunteer to be interviewed. © 2021 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.
