WHAT IS THE center for
EXPERIMENTAL ETHNOGRAPHY?
How do we expand the ways we learn and create?

How do we communicate scholarship more diversely and effectively?

How do we use what we learn to transform communities?

At the Center for Experimental Ethnography, we recognize that knowledge production is participatory, embodied, and social.  We know that the space of the 21st century university must extend beyond its walls and beyond books and labs.  And we understand that sometimes the most transformative experiences come through an encounter with a film, a performance, a poem, or a soundscape.  

The Center for Experimental Ethnography is committed to supporting these forms of knowledge production by promoting ethical, engaged, and experimental multi-modal research that is generated ethnographically.
