This panel will explore how humanistic inquiry is both expanded and challenged by ethnography and field work. What can we learn by studying knowledge production in situated contexts, shaped by the flux and flow of human behavior?
How does our understanding of the humanities broadly shift as we consider our traditional objects of study in the live contexts of human interaction and meaning making?
