About this research opportunity
The CHELab has several ongoing projects each semester that combine methods and theory from anthropology, public/global health, and sustainability. Primarily, our work focuses on the Global Ethnohydrology Study (GES), a transdisciplinary, multi-year, multi-site research project that examines cross-cultural perceptions of water issues in the context of globalization, urbanization, and climate change. CHEL’s internship program operates each semester with select undergraduate interns who work collaboratively with each other and graduate students in data management, analysis, and research tool design. New CHELab students complete a 7.5-week intensive Social Research Training (SoRT) program that provides hands-on training in qualitative and cross-cultural data collection and analysis. Upon successful completion of the SoRT, students are encouraged to apply to return to the CHELab in subsequent semesters to develop more advanced research skills by working on different projects.
Open to ASU Online students enrolled in online degree programs offered through The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences
Students interested in completing the SoRT are invited to enroll in ASB 484 Culture Health Enviro Lab Social Research Training for 3 credits in either fall or spring semesters. Spaces are first come, first served. If the section is full, please keep checking the schedule for open seats or look to the next session for available offerings.
