This session will include a screening of Ghosts and Numbers (2010) and discussion with the director on the topic of ethnographic form and what can possibly count as ethnographic knowledge, including questioning assumptions about the differences between textual and visual ways of knowing, and those between expression and fact.

This event is made possible by the Scottish Graduate School of Social Science.
