EMKP has been featured on the Museum Ethnographer’s Group blog, which discusses our aims and what we do.
Here is a short passage from the post:
EMKP’s broad aims also raise questions that need to be addressed in order to further ethnographic documentation methods. Some of these include:
- How do we best capture knowledge using digital recording methods?
- How do we preserve culturally-specific knowledge?
- How do we approach different knowledge systems and modes of understanding?
- What type of metadata and repository structure is most suitable for such a diversity of data?
The programme is beginning to explore these issues through its first round of grantees who are now beginning their fieldwork.
