Womanist Ethnography Lunch Forums
Beginning in Fall 2022, the Womanist Ethnography Conference expanded programming to offer 4 lunch forums where womanist ethnographers with recently published works share their findings, approaches, and research narratives. These brief presentations are followed by conversations, consultations, and a time for questions.
Womanist Ethnography Conference 2022
This year’s conference centers the voices of womanist ethnographers, activists, and conference attendees alike. We wrestle with the questions of vocation, purpose, and aims of our work. We seek to deepen our commitment to social transformation.
Black women’s lived experience continues to be our compass and guide in womanist ethnography and social transformation.
