SO HE WENT TO THESE ISLANDS & INVENTED THIS WHOLE NEW METHOD FOR ANTHROPOLOGY WHERE YOU GOTTA BE IN ONE PLACE FOR A WHOLE YEAR & 'GRASP THE NATIVE'S POINT OF VIEW' & THAT'S COOL BUT THE MAIN REASON HE WAS STUCK THERE A WHOLE YEAR WAS WWI & HE WAS ACTUALLY REALLY RACIST IN HIS NO-
Back in the field after almost 4 years to produce data on a new project on migrant (workplace) integration. I feel like I forgot how to do it, or maybe I never knew how do it. In any case it feels good #ethnography#patchworkethnography
Our new redesigned #PatchworkEthnography website is now up and running ๐ฅณ. Hopefully easier to navigate, share, and use for your teaching etc! Check it out ๐
This concludes our webinar, and hopefully opens up new horizons for how we conduct #research and how we talk and write about research, and encourages honesty. We have more projects coming (a bibliography on #patchworkethnography, for instance), so please keep an eye on our feed.
@vargheseashwin5 suggests, "The framework of #patchworkethnography, embedding the disruptions that form the life of a researcher, allows us to integrate the everyday of the researcher into the everyday of the field... transforming researcher-researched binaries."
"Why are distractions in the field invariably looked at as something possible, while domestic distractions are invariably seen as bad?" asks Kate McClellan, in her powerful #patchworkethnography talk.
Our second panel, Sensory and Affective Attentions, is also up on our website now! In this panel, we saw how #patchworkethnography happens while worlds fall apart. This panel made us cry, laugh, and reminded us to be more empathetic and compassionate.
Patchwork Ethnography Webinar attendees posted some amazing questions in the Q&A that we didn't have time to discuss. We'll be posting some of them here in the coming weeks to open up the conversation. First one below. Let's brainstorm! #PatchworkEthnography
Whatโs been so clear throughout this webinar is that patchwork ethnography is not an aberration but fundamental to our methods. This is an ongoing, collaborative projectโplease reach out if youโre interested in participating in some form! patchworkethnography@gmail.com
The second day of the patchwork ethnography webinar is underway! Danilyn Rutherford, president of @WennerGrenOrg, speaks to how we need to be vigilant when it comes to the hidden costs of what look like good ideas for anthropological research.
If youโre struggling to make sense of the โfieldโ and โfieldworkโ when everything seems upended , this webinar is for you! Looking forward to attending #patchworkethnography#anthrotwitter#criticalgeography
This series is ongoing and we welcome contributions from anyone who wants to reflect on patchwork ethnography or similar approaches in their own work! DM or email us: Patchworkethnography@gmail.com
#PatchworkEthnography: "Even prior to the arrival of the Covid-19 pandemic, โtraditionalโ anthropological fieldwork was in trouble". It is time we do anthropology differently! culanth.org/fieldsights/a-maโฆ
