The latest issue of Sites (Vol 15, No 1) is a special issue edited by Sita Venkateswar and Barbara Andersen entitled Ethnographic Frontiers: Pushing the Boundaries of Ethnography. This special issue focuses on contemporary ethnographic engagements that emerged from the 40th annual ASAA/NZ conference at Massey University in 2015.
Sites: A journal of social anthropology and cultural studies, volume 15, no 1, 2018
In her contribution to this special issue, Carole McGranahan describes ethnography as 'a commitment to interpersonal relations as the base of knowledge' (2018, 4) and makes the case that an ethnographic sensibility is what makes ethnography matter. The articles presented here all consider how ethnographers acquire and enact such a sensibility in various contexts.
