A sneek peek at the future interests of Design Ethnographers….in the making.


So what is Design Ethnography….how does it relate/rate to Anthropology? And what do I personally know about the movers, shakers and founders in the field?

Before an assignment to look into this topic, exploring the history of Anthropology and its relation to Design Ethnography, the answer was…not a lot.

This short exploration, is exactly that…the jottings down of what I have come to understand of the history of academic and applied anthropology/anthropologists and how this feeds into the current practice and practitioners of Design Ethnography. I hope to use this as a springboard to reflect back to and build my understanding of the field, its influences and the people involved.
