*The New Ethnographer Lab, EASA, Tuesday 14th August*
Have you had challenging experiences of fieldwork that you felt untrained
to manage? Did you feel that your institution could have better supported
you? Are there things you wish you had known before fieldwork that you
would like to pass on to other researchers? Researchers' attempts to
discuss challenging fieldwork experiences are often dismissed as being the
result of bad or unethical practice, despite evidence of the ubiquity of
fieldwork challenges in Anthropology (Pollard 2009). Building on debates
surrounding the affective dimensions of fieldwork, and the integration of
these experiences into our scholarship (Stodulka, Dinkelaker and Thajib:
forthcoming 2018), this lab offers an applied perspective.
Come and join us at the EASA on Tuesday 14th August at 10.30am (L004: Room
SO-E319). Over two sessions we will discuss participants fieldwork
experiences across four themes:
Session 1: Risk and safety in fieldwork; Mental health and well being in
fieldwork
Session 2: Fieldwork and gender; ethical online practices during fieldwork
Lab participants are invited to discuss (to the extent that they are able)
their own fieldwork experiences and propose ideas for the development of
new codes of practice. Each session will be drawn up into a document
outlining suggestions for revised codes of practice to be shared with
participants, and disseminated through our professional associations and
universities.
