Student/staff ‘Collaborative Event Ethnography’ at the Antiques Roadshow
Keywords:
Ethnography, Collaborative Event Ethnography, pedagogy, anthropology.Abstract
This case study reports and reflects upon a project using Collaborative Event Ethnography (CEE) as, simultaneously, a research and teaching method. Through training workshops and a day of interviews and participant observation at the Antiques Roadshow at Ightham Mote in Kent, staff and students worked together on a project that clearly demonstrated the scope of the CEE method for producing robust academic data while also challenging presumptions that ethnography is a necessarily lone pursuit.References
