Maryvale BuildingRevisiting the Relationship Between the “Local” and
Room 100 the “Communal”
Abstract: Traditional anthropological research on language use posited that communities of speakers conducted the business of their everyday lives, including the business of speaking, in particular nameable locales. Today, their intellectual descendants (including ethnographers of communication) find themselves asking questions such as: Are communication practices associated with a(geographic/virtual) locale always communal? Are communication practices that a community considers its own always local? If so, in what sense? If not, why not? Can we have community without locality, and/or locality without community? These questions have become increasingly pressing for ethnographers of communication in an age of increased contact and mixing among members of speech communities, and increased interest in locality and community in the work of anthropologists such as Appadurai, Hannerz, and Tsing, and sociolinguists such as Alim, Blommaert, Pennycook, and Rampton.

Room 100Ethnographic Explorations
Abstract: Over the course of the past several decades, a number of scholars have worked at the intersection of the ethnography of communication and environmental communication. This panel session brings together some of those scholars to explore this new horizon. Participants will present works in progress that can take the form of either a research concept, some portion of data, or some aspect of analysis (interpretation, comparison, or critique). Other participants and audience members will offer feedback to the presenter immediately after the brief conversation starter.

Founders Hall
Abstract: Calling all Ethnographers of Communication — how can we use our specialized training to protect democracy and fight for social justice for our students, our peers, our communities, and our societies at large? What EC-based or EC-inspired research projects could we carry out in service of democracy and social justice? What classroom activities, assignments, and/or courses, could we devise to encourage civic engagement and critical thinking in our students?In this open invitation working session, we will work together, pooling our expertise, to brainstorm ideas for applied, EC-based research and pedagogy (class activities, assignments, and/or courses) explicitly focused on supporting democratic values and producing social justice outcomes, broadly defined.
