Abstract:
The workshop will be a combination of short presentations and participants' work with practical challenges requiring anthropological exploration. The workshop is based on experience drawn from projects in AnthroAnalysis – a research unit of collaborative anthropology: Critically constructive anthropological thinking is required on all stages of the collaborative process. In this workshop we will work with the first steps where participants are requested to use their anthropological thinking to explore "problem narratives" and to suggest formats for empirical exploration. Implications of this approach for collaborative relationships are also discussed.
Dr Steffen Jöhncke is currently visiting professor in the Department of Educational Anthropology, Danish School of Education, University of Aarhus, Denmark. For more than three decades he has explored the practices and theories of application in what he calls constructive anthropology at the interface between academia and practical challenges experienced by public and private organizations. He has considerable experience in putting anthropological methods and analyses to work in projects with industries, bureaucracies, and NGOs, and he has taught a range of courses on organizational, business related and applied anthropology from graduate to doctoral level.
