The ETHNOGRAPHY WITH A TWIST conference will bring together researchers from diverse disciplines in the humanities and social sciences. We welcome papers and panels that explore ethnographic research from a wide range of perspectives that reflect the variety of backgrounds and/or address personal and affective experiences of the researchers. The conference will provide an interdisciplinary arena for lively discussion and exchanges in an inspiring environment that allows ethnographic research to be approached without the weight of tradition and encourages thinking outside the box and the usual comfort zones in our respective fields. * How does ethnographic research create substantive knowledge of current processes, phenomena, implications, and meanings of social life and culture across diverse rapidly changing, technological, natural, and/or everyday settings? * How can new roles and relations of researchers and their 'fields' in ethnographic research be perceived? * What kinds of new twists are emerging and could be explored in ethnographic research? We invite empirical, theoretical, methodological, and experimental contributions, based for example on (but not limited to) in-depth interviews, participant observation, collaborative research, auto-ethnography, art-based field studies, audio-visual methods, virtual/cyber/netnography, multi-sited research, dance/somatic ethnography, sensual ethnography, post-human approaches, and other forms of experimental inquiry. If you are interested in presenting a paper or a poster, or proposing a full panel (including 3-4 papers), or an experimental ethnographic session/workshop, please submit an abstract of 250 words, including 4-6 keywords, the title, the author(s)' name(s), affiliations, and contacts by 31 AUGUST 2018 to the conference organizers' at email address: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>.
