Endangered Fieldwork
A joint seminar with the Association of Social Anthropologists and the Royal Anthropological Institute.
CALL FOR PAPERS
Deadline: 1 December 2019
Date of event: 19 March 2020
The traditional model of long-term fieldwork, at the heart of social anthropological practice for much of the twentieth century, appears to be endangered. It is increasingly difficult to gain fieldwork permission in many countries where anthropologists have formerly worked. Doubts surround the viability of participant observation in the light of regulatory frameworks, frameworks that may appear to demand compulsory open access of fieldwork data, and knowing the questions in advance that will be asked by the fieldworker.
