Lets talk about ethnography!

Updated: Nov 21, 2023

Our world has become more complex, more intense and, perhaps, less caring and empathetic. The more we communicate the less we seem to embrace respect. The digital revolution has transformed the communicative act as a social process, and we are left with few platforms that offer safe spaces for conversations about research in a meaningful way.


We start from the premise that ethnography is more than a research method, and want to rethink its role in a more encompassing and epistemological fashion.


In our research group postgraduate students and staff have collaborated in areas such as education, multilingualism, interpreting, nature/culture and transnationalism and Debating Ethnography has evolved in new and exciting ways as a result of this.


We are passionate researchers who seek to explore a fresh agenda for Ethnography as a research method, a mode of enquiry and a writing genre. We are keen to embrace innovation and critical thinking and curious about revisiting multi-disciplinary landscapes through the prism of the ethnographic approach. We want to go beyond traditional boundaries, be able to experiment with new forms of ethnography and decolonise research with more collective agency.


We have started conversations with colleagues from a wide range of disciplinary and experiential horizons, but there is still lots of collective work to undertake to produce a more participatory, collaborative, and plurivocal research agenda focusing on people, their ways of being and the pressing challenges human and non-human worlds are facing.


Please join us in by sending some of your thoughts or ideas to debatingethnography@outlook.com or by contributing to our activities and events!


Adriana, Heidi and Marion.
