SUMMARY:Concordia Ethnolab Open House
DESCRIPTION:The Concordia Ethnography Lab is hosting an Open House on September 30. Join us to learn more about the Lab: we’ll share a little about its history and role within Milieux\, and showcase a couple of past projects. You’ll also get to hear about (and connect with) our active working groups and research projects\, learn how to get involved\, and pitch your own ideas! \nIf you have an idea for a project or working group for the Ethnography Lab\, then come along and share it! If it resonates with the community\, we will find ways to support you. \n  \nABOUT THE CONCORDIA ETHNOGRAPHY LAB: \nThe Concordia Ethnography Lab promotes experimentation in collaborative qualitative research. The Lab gathers ethnographic expertise from across Concordia to foster creative thinking about methodology\, to enhance the possibility of research collaboration\, and to act as a resource for researchers inside and outside the university who wish to use ethnography to ask questions about the world around them. \nhttps://www.ethnographylabconcordia.ca/ \n  \n  \n  \n  September 30\, 2026 \n 3-5 PM \nSpeculative Life EV 10.635
