Centre for Political Ethnography

Two head shaped trees with birds flying to each other as a metaphor for teamwork

We aim to rescue ethnography from its current void in political science and build the UK's first centre for ethnographic research in politics and administration.

Part of Politics and international relations

We are an interdisciplinary platform for those who are interested in ethnographic research in politics and administration. We work with like-minded colleagues from across the University. We practise the 'art of translation' for multiple audiences.

Learning from experience is at the heart of practical wisdom, and it is how public servants pick up their political nous.
