Ethnography is about writing — about conveying a sense of life, presence and attention and using detailed descriptions to establish analytical points that engage our imagination and extend our perceptions of worlds - both strange and familiar. This conference inquires into the craft of ethnographic writing in dialogue with a group of experienced ethnographers, who have been asked to open the doors to their workshops to explore personal experiences, analytical ambitions, genre aspirations, past and present writing practices and challenges – all with an eye to ethnography as a fine-tuned tool for educating attention and imagination and causing thought in writer and reader alike.
