Thanks to Kerry for the report.
In the middle of our meeting I remember a discussion about writing ethnography evocatively - the importance of plot, characterisation, etc. - and suggesting that we could read something about this for next time.
So, I've added another reading for our next meeting to the list down there on the left, by Laurel Richardson, which does just this. There seem to be a few copies of different editions of the Handbook of Qualitative Research in Exeter's library, but I should be able to root out my photocopy to lend out to those who can't get to them.
I also remember us agreeing that we didn't all necessarily have to read everything for next time, so please try to do either/or or both. Please also blog in or email references for any of the other readings you bring, mention or think we should read.

Claes Oldenburg (1997) Notebook Torn in Half
Excuse the title.
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.

I also have a couple of photocopies of the Richardson chapter, if anybody would like one get in touch.
