York Anthropologist, Danielle Eliott, in the HESO program, has just co-authored a new book with Dara Culhane titled “A New Type of Ethnography: Imaginative Practices and Creative Methodologies” (University of Toronto Press). Prof. Elliott is also an organizer of the Centre for Imaginative Ethnography here at York.
This innovative book introduces the latest in scholarship and experimental methods in what has come to be known as “sensory ethnography.” Produced by members of the Centre for Imaginative Ethnography, it supports the idea of an imaginative and creative approach to anthropological inquiry—one that is collaborative, open-ended, embodied, affective, and experimental.
