Centre for Ethnography
The Centre for Canadian Ethnography is designed to enhance and support sociocultural anthropological research within the GTA (especially Scarborough) and on the diverse communities that comprise it as well as to extend the research more broadly beyond our borders (for example by linking up the study of immigrant communities with their broader diasporas and countries of origin). The emphasis is on qualitative methodology, the practice of ethnographic fieldwork, and the production of ethnographic monographs and articles. The Centre will serve as a repository for anthropological and interdisciplinary work conducted on and in Toronto; serve as a base for visiting researchers and postdocs; encourage research by local (University of Toronto and neighbouring institutions) faculty and graduate students; and develop and support fieldwork components to undergraduate courses in anthropology and possibly other social science disciplines.
