United States Locations

This workshop explores ethnographic research in Canada and the United States within social scientific fields engaging core cross-disciplinary anthropological problems. In a world of global interconnections, we provide a forum for anthropologists and other social scientists crafting rigorous approaches to locating America as a cultural and sociological entity within, across, and outside the geographic boundaries of North America. Critically analyzing the burgeoning literature on ethnographic practice and theory, and focusing on carefully formulated empirical studies in particular locations, this workshop aims to locate the theoretical position of North America within the field of anthropology and related disciplines.
