So excited to share our newest must-read publication, from Roger Josue 🇵🇸, which uses research in Chiapas to show how "The bicycle provides migrants with the power to free themselves from the immobility imposed by the border:" ethnomarginalia.com/2025/01/10/cha…

“Pedaling together with the rest, in this sense, is a support, a movement that, as in the case of great cycling races, finds in the peloton the necessary dynamism not to be left behind.” On bicycling and borders, by the wonderful Roger Josue 🇵🇸 for Ethnographic Marginalia 📖

Our Call for Abstracts is now open! In this hybrid symposium to be held on 28 May, 2025 at Cambridge University, we aim to bring together scholars who engage in the ethnographic method for a collective conversation around movement and method. #CFA thesociologicalreview.org/announcements/…

Unpacking “movement” as a conceptual, methodological and analytical modality of knowledge production in the field, Sneha Annavarapu and I seek to critically interrogate the assumptions of space, time, and theory that underpin ethnographic research.

Building on emergent conversations that emphasise the value of decentring immersive ethnographic fieldwork, this symposium will focus on the bodily, personal, professional and citational navigations ethnographers undertake in their quest to conduct ethnographic inquiry.

Rather than viewing movement and mobility as merely logistical aspects of research, we aim to explore how they fundamentally shape ethnographic methods and theory.

If you are interested in presenting your work at the symposium, please complete the application form and submit your abstract by 1 March 2025, 23:59 GMT. One can also attend without presenting by registering at: eventbrite.co.uk/e/exploring-mo…

The symposium will also have two unmissable public keynote lectures by Nayanika Mathur and Asiya Islam on ethnographic method, space, time and theory.

Send us your wonderful abstracts! 🌸

Happy to share my new article in Society for Cultural Anthropology! I show that a reactive, micropolitical, and disjointed mode of regulation shapes urban growth in Hyderabad and stymies planning for macro goals like sustainable and inclusive development. It's #OpenAccess! journal.culanth.org/index.php/ca/a…!

New open access article CSSH where I write about India's city improvement trusts of early 20th century and how they inaugurated a new language, technology, and rationality of urban governance. - bit.ly/43Vy46q
