Journal History

Ethnographic Encounters was founded in 2011 by Zoe Miller, Emily Sheppard and Dr. Craig Lind to provide a platform for undergraduate students in the Department of Social Anthropology at the University of St Andrews to share their ethnographic research.

 

Focus and Scope

Established as a student-led initiative, the journal highlights the diversity of anthropological inquiry undertaken by students. Our articles include essays based on fieldwork undertaken during a second-year project to experimental autoethnographic writing.
