Ethnographic Encounters 2022-23 (Volume 13) is on the way!

 

Call for Submissions: Ethnographic Encounters 2022-23 (First Round)

2022-09-25

Ethnographic Encounters 2022-23 (Vol.13) opens submissions to undergraduate and postgraduate students from all disciplines within and beyond the University of St Andrews. This will create a space for interdisciplinary exploration of the broadest meaning of being 'ethnographic', both as a mode of doing qualitative research and as a mode of representing results from that research. So long as you consider that your work can contribute to the genre of ethnography, we welcome diverse forms of submissions including creative writing, poetry, audio-visual production and photography alongside academic articles.

Deadlines: We are going to experiment with multiple rounds of submission deadlines this academic year. The first submission deadline is 16th October 2022, at 11:59 PM.

Open the announcement link to see the submission requirements.

2020 Journal Updates

2020-12-01

We would like to give a warm welcome and congratulations to everyone added to our editing team this year. We've taken special consideration to diversify the academic years represented on the team and hope it will provide fresh perspectives and long term involvement in our publication.  This year presents our team with unusual and unexpected challenges at every turn but we are working hard to ensure things operate smoothly. 

 

While our first-semester edition generally focuses on second-year Ethnographic Encounters projects, we have had to adapt our approach. Due to COVID restrictions, many students were unable to carry out their fieldwork projects and instead did reflexive reports and reflections on ethnographic material. We hope to publish some of these reports as well as personal reflections, and general academic papers. It is unlikely that this year's journal will justify printing expenses so we are, unfortunately, only going to be digital this year. 

 

Stay tuned for any further announcements and thank you for your support as always.

 

Happy Holidays!

 

Katy and Rebecca,

Editor's in Chief 2020/21

Call for submissions: 'Food for Thought: The Homesick Student's Cookbook'

2015-02-15

We are currently opening submissions for our latest issue: 'Food for thought: The Homesick Student's Cookbook'. Submissions consist of:


- a photograph of the meal you prepare when you think of 'comfort food' or home. This does not have to look fantastic, so please do not let such concerns prevent you from taking part. My own comfort food is rice soup, which could not look more unappealing.


- a short caption explaining the significance of the dish.

- the recipe.

There are no limits to the number of submissions you can make, however the deadline is Sunday the 15th of March at midnight to encounters@st-andrews.ac.uk.
