CALL FOR PAPERS<br>
-------------------------------------------------<br>
<br>
This workshop is dedicated to unpacking these messy challenges and complexities that arise when carrying out ethnographic fieldwork in non-western settings or carrying out fieldwork from a non-western perspective. The two-day workshop including a pre-workshop
and post-workshop get-together, aims to provide a forum for researchers as well as practitioners and activists to discuss and reflect challenges in conducting ethnographic fieldwork and applying related methodologies. It is appreciated if contributions share
first-hand insights, reflections and experiences focused on authority, bias and immersion in ethnographic fieldwork. Further, contributions with a stronger focus on socio-technical interventions and implementations in the non-western world are welcome as well.<br>
<br>
Ultimately, this dialogue should lead to guidelines and approaches to ethnographic fieldwork that could prove more beneficial in politically charged, infrastructural challenged and underfunded regions.<br>
<br>
We invite anyone interested in participating to submit a two to five-page position paper. Accepted participants will be asked to provide a one-page summary of the position paper as well as a short bio (250-300 words max.), to be shared amongst all other participants.
Papers should critically reflect upon the authors’ experiences from the field or research area related to challenges they face while conducting ethnographic field work, with a focus on the areas of authority, bias and immersion. Authors’ prior experience does
not have to be specifically concerned with these challenges, but the position papers will be expected to demonstrate how their experience is relevant to the workshop’s topics and can be applied within the workshop’s context.<br>
<br>
Submissions should be sent to </span><span style="font-family:"-webkit-standard",serif;color:black"><a href="mailto:info@messy-ethnography.org" target="_blank"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:#000064">info@messy-ethnography.org</span></a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"-webkit-standard",serif;color:black"> in
.pdf format. Position papers will be reviewed based on relevance and potential for contribution to the workshop. Details regarding presentations of work will be provided with acceptance notifications. At least one co-author of each accepted paper must register
to the CHI 2021 conference to attend the workshop.<br>
<br>
