Dear NET members,
This is to inform you that the next Network for Ethnographic Theory meeting will be held at EASA 2018, in Stockholm. The meeting will take place on Wednesday 15th August, 17:00-18:45pm, in room SÖ-E413.
The agenda of the meeting has two main points:
1) To address recent developments and accusations revolving around the journal HAU, and their connection to NET. NET is not involved in the HAU editorial process but NET and HAU are joint by a common intellectual mission, namely ethnographic theory, and it is hence important to address and discuss the recent criticism directed at HAU and, in response, how to best situate and clarify NET’s position.
Moreover, I hope the NET meeting can offer a platform for EASA delegates to discuss and publicly express opinions regarding the HAU affair, as well as broader, relevant issues within the discipline. All EASA delegates, NET or non-NET, are welcome to attend the meeting and exchange perspectives and voice opinions.
2) To locate/appoint new convenors and discuss NET’s future activities. Two new convenors must be located to lead the network for the next two years. If this does not prove possible, then the future viability of the network has to be discussed.
I look forward to meeting and discussing with those of you interested in the above two points, as well as anything else that you deem relevant.
With best wishes,
Theo
