Creative and diverse approaches to ethnographic knowledge
production and writing Ethnographic research has long been
cloaked in mystery around what fieldwork is really like for
researchers, how they collect data, and how it is analyzed within
the social sciences. Naked Fieldnotes, a unique compendium of
actual fieldnotes from contemporary ethnographic researchers from
various modalities and research traditions, unpacks how this
research works, its challenges and its possibilities. The
volume pairs fieldnotes based on observations, interviews,
drawings, photographs, soundscapes, and other contemporary modes of
recording research encounters with short, reflective essays,
offering rich examples of how fieldnotes are composed and shaped by
research experiences. These essays unlock the experience of
conducting qualitative research in the social sciences, providing
clear examples of the benefits and difficulties of ethnographic
research and how it differs from other forms of writing such as
reporting and travelogue. By granting access to these personal
archives, Naked Fieldnotes unsettles taboos about the privacy of
ethnographic writing and gives scholars a diverse, multimodal
approach to conceptualizing and doing ethnographic
fieldwork. Contributors: Courtney Addison, Te

This book examines the development of medical sciences in
postcolonial Kenya, through the adventures and stories of the
controversial Kalenjin scientist Davy Kiprotich Koech. As a
collaborative life story project, it privileges African voices and
retellings, re-centring the voice of African scientists from the
peripheries of storytelling about science, global health research
collaborations, national politics, international geopolitical
alliances, and medical research. Focusing largely on the
development of the Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI) and its
collaborations with the US Centers for Disease Control, the Walter
Reed Project, Japan's International Cooperation Agency, the
Wellcome Trust, and other international partners, Denielle Elliott
and Davy Koech challenge euro-dominant representations of African
science and global health in both the contemporary and historical
and offer an unconventional account which aims to destabilize
colonial and neo-colonial narratives about African science,
scientists, and statecraft. The stories force readers to contend
with a series of questions including: How do imperial effects shape
contemporary medical research and national sovereignty? In which
ways do the colonial ghosts of early medical research infuse the
struggles of postcolonial scientists to build national scientific
projects? How were postcolonial nation-building projects tied up
with the dreams and visions of African scientists? And lastly, how
might we reimagine African medicine and biosciences? The monograph
will be of interest to students, educators, and scholars working in
African Studies, Science and Technology Studies, Postcolonial
Studies, Global Health, Cultural Anthropology, and Medical
Anthropology.

Building on the sensory ethnographic trend in contemporary
sociocultural anthropology, this collection introduces the idea of
a different kind of ethnography: an imaginative and creative
approach to anthropological inquiry that is collaborative,
open-ended, embodied, affective, and experimental. The authors
treat ethnography as a methodology that includes the whole process
of ethnography, from being fully present while engaging with the
experience to analyzing representing, and communicating the
results, with the hope of capturing different kinds of knowledge
and experiences The book is structured around various
methodologies-sensing, walking, writing, performing, and
recording-and includes innovative exercises that allow both
seasoned and aspiring ethnographers to develop a practice that can
deepen and extend ethnographic inquiry.
In Field Stories, William H. Leggett and Ida Fadzillah Leggett have
pulled together a collection of ethnographic research and classroom
experiences from around the world. Drawing on moments both
unfamiliar and all too familiar to those accustomed to fieldwork,
the contributors to this collection demonstrate in clear, relatable
prose how intimate engagements with others in the field can present
moments of rich ethnographic value that provide insight into global
interconnections.
In Field Stories, William H. Leggett and Ida Fadzillah Leggett have
drawn together a collection of fieldwork experiences from around
the world. Using concepts like vulnerability, friendship, fear, and
affect, the contributors in this collection draw on their
ethnographic research and classroom experience to share instructive
narratives related to their personal encounters and insights from
working with local interlocuters. Drawing on moments both
unfamiliar and all too familiar to those accustomed to fieldwork,
the contributors demonstrate, in clear, relatable prose, how
intimate engagements with others in the field can present moments
of rich ethnographic value that can be used to understand and
provide insight into global interconnections.
