Fieldschool Is Not What It Used to Be
This article examines how teaching and learning ethnographic methods could be adapted to contemporary times, considering shifting understandings of ethnography and practical attention to the experiences of new fieldworkers. Using the European Field Studies Program at the University of Massachusetts Amherst as a case study, we identify several pedagogical techniques, including a cohort-based learning model, peer mentoring, and group blogging, to s…
Divination, Precarity, and Affect in Postsecular Turkey by Zeynep K. Korkman (review)
Ethnography under Authoritarianism
What is perceived today as “living in an unknown moment” with global pandemics and ecological disasters has long become the “new normal” that structures everyday life at the margins of Europe and the Middle East, particularly in places with rising authoritarian regimes.

It then focuses on the slogan of the 2012 abortion rights mobilizations, “My body, my …

Drawing from my fieldwork on reproductive rights activism in Turkey, I reflect on my strategies and challenges to build research collaboration while working with and for feminist acti…
