Episode 2 – Fieldwork: Building connections

Jalsa | جلسة

In this episode, we will be exploring how fieldwork can be places you never thought of as fieldwork, how they can resemble dreams and entries into the intimacy of informants, how you learn to navigate fieldwork in a country different from your own. For this purpose, we spoke to Zina Sawaf, an anthropologist and assistant professor of gender studies at the Lebanese American University in Beirut. Zina is part of the ethnography and knowledge working group, supported by the Arab Council for the Social Sciences.
