Doing Ethnography

This workshop introduces key features of ethnographic methods for those who would like to pursue ethnographic fieldwork as part of their creative practice or artistic research methodologies. The workshop will shift registers between the practical, the conceptual, the epistemological and the ethical, and it should be particularly valuable in light of the fact that anthropological ethnography, the optimal form, has a limited literature and is taught largely by osmosis.
