-----------------
Toward a feminist public anthropology: ethnographies of method,
collaboration and activism
Public anthropology strives to link research and action, to bring
anthropological knowledge to broader audiences, whilst promoting social
justice and social change. This panel explores how feminist thought
contributes to public anthropology agendas. Feminist work has directed
particular attention to our ethnographic practice - it has urged us to
critically examine issues of power in the ethnographic encounter, and
to consider the politics and ethics of fieldwork in new ways.
Particular attention has been focused on the relationships we forge in
the context of field- based research and the challenges and
possibilities of reconstituting our subjects as friends, comadres, or
collaborators. At a time when many of us are exploring ways to achieve
a more socially engaged anthropological practice, these issues are
especially relevant. Important contributions to this discussion might
include:
- The implications of departure from the field and from fieldwork
relationships; reconstituting relationships with/in the field
- Relationships within activist anthropology; competing loyalties and
responsibilities
- The politics of the writing and representational process
- Writing collaboration; how to write ethnographically about
collaborative research processes or activist forms of engagements
- Issues of reflexivity
Please send abstracts of 250 words, along with your name, email and
