Rough Theory

The GSSSP’s biannual HDR Conference is rolling around again and, following up on an interesting debate that took place at the last panel over whether the work that I and others are doing “counts” as ethnographic research, I’m trying to put together a panel for the 22 November conference on the theme of “Dubious Ethnography”. If any RMIT HDR students have projects that fall into ethnographic grey areas, and would like to reflect on the relationship between their methodology and more conventional understandings of ethnographic work, leave a comment or send through an email. Even if you aren’t interested in presenting, if you have questions or can think of topics you’d be interested in hearing such a panel address, let me know.
