It will take place at 4:30pm-6:00pm, on October 31, 2011, in Room 601, Campus A. This seminar is for any faculty members and students who are interested to get insight into the ship scrapping industry in Chittagong and would like to know how qualitative research is done in practice. By attending the presentation, participants will be able to understand how ethnographic research techniques are important for getting an emic perspective (insider’s perspective). The main concern of the research was to collect workers’ perspective about how they work, live and what is their health situation. The seminar will be conducted by Tawhidur Rahman.

He has conducted his fieldwork (August-October, 2011) on the ship scrapping yards in Chittagong to write his MA thesis about workers working & living in this highly risky condition.
