Ethnography in Risky Settings (Online)

Description:

This workshop examines the ethical and political demands of ethnography in risky settings, where danger and uncertainty often push work beyond procedural ethics. Building on ethnography’s pursuit of cultural intimacy and thick description, we treat accuracy, authenticity, and truthfulness as contested criteria and trace how realism vs. fiction, visibility and form, intensified image circulation, and tightening border regimes reshape practice. Through discussion, case analyses, and structured debates, participants explore informed consent, participation, “do no harm,” and authorship. We also consider alternative publication modalities and reflect on researchers’ multiple roles and the ethical stakes of long-term engagement in contexts of risk and vulnerability.
