Following Dr. Beaman’s CMS Speaker Series lecture, join us for an informal, interactive conversation on the theme of “ethnographic narrative.”
The hour will include a brief Q&A with Dr. Beaman on her career trajectory and experiences with the practice of ethnography, followed by a sharing of works-in-progress ethnographic sketches provided by Dr. Beaman and Dr. Cheong, and will conclude with a wider discussion. All are welcome, especially students!
Coffee, refreshments, and fun and inclusive vibes will be provided.
