Conclusion: Knowledge-Making at the Water Point

This book seeks to disrupt the narrative about the process of academic writing and the written products which are currently valued in the university by juxtaposing the messiness and deletions of the writing process with the hegemonic imaginary of what research writing should look like. The author uses writing as both a subject and a method of enquiry in an ethnographic deep dive into her long-term engagement with a postgraduate writers' circle in an elite South African university. The book engages with growing global interest in the geopolitics of research writing and its relationship to patterns of epistemic privilege, drawing on current work on decolonising knowledge production. It opens a space to widen and deepen how we imagine the relationship between writing and knowledge-making.

Look what I stumbled upon in Aye-aye books 👀 now that's going to be a very interesting Autumn read. A lovely example of ethnographic mediation 💚

Cover of a book: Land for what? Land for whom? Senses of Place and Conflict in the Scottish Highlands by Bonnie Vandesteeg. The cover displays 8 brown and blue toned graphics, depicting a hillwalker, an eagle, a pheasant hunter, a skiier, a tractor, a fisherman, a deer and a hotel.

Book blurb, with quotes from 4 different people - a hill-walker, a ski shop employee, Cairngorm Partnership Recreation Forum member and a local conservationist, displaying their conflicting views and apparent antagonism.

Blurb reads: 'exploring the many and varied conflicts between livelihood, recreation and conservation, Land for What? Land for Whom? Is based on years of detailed ethnographic research in the Cairngorms of Scotland. In expressing the views, concerns and feelings of people in the area, particularly those who often go unheard, VandeSteeg places them at the front of her study and considers how their differences might be overcome to ensure future wellbeing of both people and planet.

SO MUCH of Japanese pop culture has been directly influenced by American pop culture, and vice versa like you said, so it's not really worth talking about it as if it's some like ethnographic exchange of culture. It's just two friendly cultures sharing their media with each another.

What – and how – doctors communicate to patients in acute settings can make all the difference to their understanding of the diagnostic process. Our study looked at ways doctors could help or hinder understanding. THIS summary: https://ths.im/4eprp8t https://ths.im/3NbCCNW

My infant son was a huge help when I was doing ethnographic fieldwork for my dissertation.

I am perfectly aware that I'm much more well known for my ethnographic work, but I DO do mixed methods, with a strong preference for field experiments, spatial analysis and ethnography.
