"Fieldwork as [a] Subject: Emotions and care in ethnographic research"

OPEN TO THE PUBLIC | Ana Del Conde is a postdoctoral fellow for the Program for the Study of Women and Gender and the Jandon Center for Community Engagement at Smith College. She is a cultural anthropologist who specializes in feminist theory and engaged ethnographic research. Her research and teaching interests lie at the intersection of political anthropology and feminist studies and focus on (in)security, conflict, justice, and collective action. Currently, her work explores the collective organizing processes that are emerging in the P’urhépecha region, in Mexico to confront the multiple types of violence that women experience, shedding light on the novel security strategies that are being led by women through processes of solidarity, accompaniment, and collective care.
