CfA Ethnographies on the move at ASA 2025
Dear all, We are organising a panel at the next ASA conference, Critical Junctions: Anthropology on the Move, taking place at the University of Birmingham between the 8 and 11 April 2025. Please consider submitting an abstract to our panel or sharing the call among others who might be interested in your networks. The deadline for submissions is on the 18 Nov 2024, submissions via the conference website. Panel 21 - Ethnographies on the move: exploring itinerant research practices Short Abstract This panel invites reflections on fieldwork practices that follow the movements of its participants through space. How does mobility alongside research participants shape ethnography? We call for papers examining methodological, theoretical, and ethical aspects of an "anthropology in motion". Long Abstract In an increasingly mobile world, anthropologists often find themselves literally on the move, following research participants engaged in itinerant practices. This panel proposes to explore the methodological, theoretical, and ethical implications of mobile ethnographies-fieldwork that involves moving alongside research participants and following people or more-than-humans on their journeys across space. This might be in the form of mundane, everyday travels, professional drivers on their commutes, joining expeditions, accompanying tourists and pilgrims, and other mobile communities. As we traverse physical and conceptual landscapes, how do our ethnographic practices adapt? What new insights emerge when both the researcher and the field site are in constant motion? What are the challenges and opportunities of doing ethnography on the move? We invite panelists to discuss how mobility shapes both the subject and practice of ethnography. Considering how these dynamic research contexts challenge traditional notions of "the field" and multi-sited ethnography, requiring innovative approaches to participant observation, data collection, and analysis. How does constant mobility affect the ethnographer's ability to build rapport and conduct in-depth research? What innovative methods and technologies can enhance ethnographic practices when researchers and participants are in motion? Proposals may also address the ethical considerations of mobile research, including questions of consent, privacy, and the anthropologist's role in shaping mobile experiences, as well as technologies that might support ethnography on the go. Many thanks.
