About the event

Ethnography: A Workshop on Radical Attention
⚡ About the Workshop:
Anthropology, I believe, is an art of attention. In this workshop, we learn primarily to think about, immerse ourselves in, and react to the world with utmost attention. As much attention as we can muster, while thinking about war, climate, and the blooming of flowers in the spring.

💫Dates and Venue: 3-6 October 2025, Sambhaavnaa Institute, VPO Kandbari, Tehsil Palampur, District Kangra, PIN 176061, Himachal Pradesh.

✨Facilitator: Atreyee Majumder is an anthropologist. She earned her doctoral degree from Yale University (2014). She has been an Andrew Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow at the Jackman Humanities Institute, University of Toronto (2016-18).She is currently Associate Professor of Social Sciences at the National Law School of India University, Bengaluru.

💫Structure
The workshop explains what ethnography is and what kinds of things it can be useful for. I will use the first two sessions to introduce ethnography as a research technique of anthropology. . The final session focuses on a small writing assignment where each participant will share their work with rest of the group.

⭐This workshop conducted over four days (see plan below) aims at:

👉 Day 1 – Practices of seeing, being, and a bit of speaking as the art of attention.
👉 Day 2 – Tasting two ethnographic texts – one in narrative, one in poetry. Close-reading the texts, discussion, and applying their insights to our contexts.
👉 Day 3 – Constructing research questions and visiting one’s ongoing, or currently nascent research through the ethnographic lens.
👉 Day 4 – Writing workshop.
