Our research
We research gaps in ethnography knowledge, including:
- ethnography is ‘endangered’ because it takes a long time, is ethically sensitive and has difficulty in securing funds
- political ethnography is a minority sport in political science. Despite its distinct and distinctive contribution, its potential is realised rarely
- in the era of impact, ethnographic fieldwork has the singular advantage that it involves working with the end users of research
