Accessibility, Populism and Democracy: Unearthing the Value of Spontaneous Face-to-Face Interactions
The Center for Political Ethnography (CPE), in partnership with the PAIR Research Seminars series, is pleased to receive Dr. Portia Roelofs from King’s College London, for a talk on Wednesday, October 15. This talk will be of particular interest to anyone engaged with ethnographic research, African politics, decolonial theories, and the contribution of ethnography to conceptual innovation.

Political Ethnography - Online
The Centre for Political Ethnography is pleased to announce that our Director, Dr Mariana Borges, will be delivering a methods training course in ethnography through the National Centre for Research Methods (NCRM). This online course, taught over four Fridays from 21 November 2025, introduces participants to key ethnographic data collection methods and how to apply them effectively in research. It will be particularly valuable for PGR students preparing to conduct fieldwork, as well as those who have already been in the field and wish to strengthen their methodological toolkit.
