INSIDE THE ETHNOGRAPHERS STUDIO
Inspired by James Lipton’s Inside the Actors Studio, the Society for Emerging Ethnographers hosts conversational sessions with celebrated ethnographers. Conversations are intended to demystify the craft, lay open ethnographic decision-making, and inspire innovation.
Programming usually focuses on a particular theme, moderated by an early career ethnographer. During each Q&A, attendees should feel free to ask general or field-specific questions. Q&A participation is highly encouraged.
