About In the Thick of It and the Public Ethnography Lab:
Welcome to In the Thick of It. On this podcast, we talk with researchers about how they do what they do, one method at a time. In the episodes, we dive into the behind-the-scenes of anthropology by explaining the choices, challenges, and creativity that go into qualitative methods. Our first season is hosted by Eva Rey, PhD Candidate at American University.
This is a podcast is a project of the Public Ethnography Lab. The Public Ethnography Lab is a new center housed in the Department of Anthropology at American University that is focused on making ethnographic work matter beyond academia. The lab has three primary functions:
- Foster, promote, and increase the use and appreciation of ethnographic methods
- Support students, practitioners, and organizations in their ethnographic practice
- Create ethnographic collaboration in order to advance community-driven social change
