Aldrich Hall

At the Juncture of  Social Theory and Ethnography:  Two Days of Conversations
Co-Sponsored by the Center for  Ethnography, University of 
California, Irvine, and the Department of Anthropology, Rice University.

These conversations, held at Rice  University, were intended to examine how social theory is used to contextualize and give shape to projects  of ethnographic research today.  Ethnographies have become more  theoretical since the 1980s, but how theory 'works' in relation to ethnographic inquiry is one of the most vexing and interesting questions about method, the forms of research practice, the identity and authority of ethnography, and the imaginaries of those who produce and participate in it.  

Participants included  Dominic Boyer (Rice), James Faubion (Rice), Rebecca Lemov (Harvard),  Andreas Glaeser (Chicago), George Marcus (UCI), Kaushik Sunder Rajan (UCI), Kim Fortun (RPI), and Phil Grant (UCI). Abstracts of the stimulus papers are available and reflections on the event will be forthcoming.
