Hi there,
I am a recent graduate from the university of Leeds, UK – and after spending my exchange year at the university of Victoria, bc and practicing ethnography on a field school in Cuba – I am keen to spend the next year practicing and enaging with developing my ethnographic research technique and skills.
will you be holding any upcoming field schools/projects/internships/skills over the next few months and the next year of 2020?
I would so value any form of direction 🙂
look forward to hearing back,
many thanks,
savanna birth
