Hi all - as our theme for the next session is on the politics of research (and as I mentioned it last time), some of you may be interested in checking out an on-going debate on the way research into counter-insurgency is funded in the UK and elsewhere. This is currently a hot topic in anthropology (check out the debates on http://blog.theasa.org/ ) and has just popped up on the Critical Geography Forum, so may be about to start in Geography.
At Exeter University, the opportunity to use an 'ex' in the title of any activity is never wasted.
We are an ad-hoc group of human geographers at (and vaguely attached to) Exeter who aim to meet every couple of weeks to discuss ethnographic aspects of our research.
This blog will allow us to organise ourselves, continue discussions between meetings, and open out debates.
We first met on Wednesday 13th February 2008, and will meet every other Wednesday-ish for the foreseeable future.
Our next meeting
1-2pm, 7th August (to discuss 'Creative Geographies' event - link). Venue to be organised. NB If you can't make it, please email ideas, volunteer for things, think about how you could participate if you're not present (videoconferencing, anyone??) etc...

No plans...
