In 2025–26, the Ethnography Hub explores how ethnography can respond to shifting geopolitical landscapes, the global resurgence of populist governance, and the reconfiguration of research agendas under conditions of restricted travel and newly recalibrated funding priorities. We do so with a symposium series on Global Realignments, Ethnographically and a new flagship Multi-Sited Ethnography methods course.
