About event
Presentation of the book "Ethnographic Methods in Gypsy, Roma and Traveller Research: Lessons from a Time of Crisis (Bristol University Press, 2024)" with its editors and authors. Both in person & on-line (the link below).
This collection scrutinizes the methodological and ethical challenges that researchers face when working with and for Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities in the context of global crises. Contributors assess the impact of the pandemic on their engaged research, evaluating novel methods and technologies. They reveal how current research practice blurs the borders between activism and scholarship, and they argue the need for innovative collaborations with local communities. Showcasing emerging aspects of GRT-related scholarship, this book makes a key contribution to larger debates on the positionality of researchers and the politics of research, and affirms the continued value of rigorous ethnography. The book is available open access at: https://bristoluniversitypress.co.uk/ethnographic-methods-in-gypsy-roma-and-traveller-research
