Research Seminar: Co-creating knowledge as ethnographic practice - an applied perspective

Co-creating knowledge as ethnographic practice - an applied perspective

Speaker: Professor Andreas Roepstorff, Aarhus University

Engaging in knowledge making endeavors holds important applied potentials for many anthropologists. One may, for instance, establish frames and rituals of and for collaboration, frontload analytical concepts, or offer tools for reflection. But the process may also challenge fundamental aspects of one’s own research practice. How to the deal with the inherent conundrums of participant observation, if it happens in spaces, one has key responsibility for establishing, holding and developing?

Andreas Roepstorff is professor in anthropology at Aarhus University and director of Aarhus Institute of Advanced Studies. He has conducted and directed research in interdisciplinary settings, on the interface of humanities, natural sciences and medicine.
