Interdisciplinary ethnography event: thoughts and reflections
On the 10th of December 2024, approximately 25 researchers from the University of Jyväskylä gathered to discuss ethnography on the Seminaarinmäki Campus in an interdisciplinary event.
Venla Rantanen ja @mariaruotsalainen.bsky.social järjestivät joulukuussa mainion monitieteisen etnografiatyöpajan, jossa olin panelistina. Olipa mukava keskustella eri alojen tutkijoiden kanssa etnografiasta paneelissa ja työpajapisteillä! Tässä blogitekstimme aiheesta: www.jyu.fi/en/blog/inte...
