Prif Siaradwyr Cadarnhawyd

• Yr Athro Rick Delbridge, Ysgol Busnes Caerdydd: 'Myfyrdodau ar barhad a chyd-destunau ethnograffeg gweithleoedd' Mae
  
  Rick Delbridge yn Athro Dadansoddi Sefydliadol, Ysgol Busnes Caerdydd ac yn gyd-gynullydd y Ganolfan Ymchwil Polisi Arloesedd, Prifysgol Caerdydd. Cyhoeddwyd ei waith ymchwil ethnograffig ar brofiadau llawr siop gweithwyr o dan dechnegau rheoli a gweithgynhyrchu ‘Siapanaidd’ mewn papurau yn y Journal of Management Studies and Sociology ac ar ffurf llyfr fel Life on the Line in Contemporary Manufacturing: The Workplace Experience of Darn Manufacturing a’r Model 'Siapanaidd' gan Wasg Prifysgol Rhydychen amser maith yn ôl. Yn fwy diweddar, tynnodd ar ddata hunanethnograffig i drafod datblygiad strategaeth gwerth cyhoeddus Ysgol Busnes Caerdydd mewn papur gyda Martin Kitchener a gyhoeddwyd yn Academy of Management Learning & Education. Mae'n parhau i fod yn hyrwyddwr brwd o ymchwil ethnograffig. Ef yw prif olygydd Research in the Sociology of Work a chyhoeddwyd y gyfrol gyntaf o dan ei olygyddiaeth, Ethnographies of Work, y llynedd. Bellach mae RSW hefyd yn cynnwys adran reolaidd, Sbotolau ar Ethnograffeg.
• Dr Jenna Pandeli, Prifysgol Gorllewin Lloegr: 'Newidiadau mewn ethnograffeg: ail-ddelweddu'r broses ymchwil foesegol a galwad am newid' Mae
  
  Jenna Pandeli yn Athro Cyswllt mewn Astudiaethau Sefydliadol yn UWE, Bryste. Mae ei diddordebau ymchwil yn canolbwyntio ar ddefnyddio methodolegau ansoddol, sef ethnograffeg, i ddarparu gwell dealltwriaeth o brofiadau bob dydd o waith. Mae ganddi ddiddordeb arbennig mewn llafur carchar a mathau eraill o waith anweledig. Yn 2020, dyfarnwyd gwobr SAGE am Ragoriaeth ac Arloesi iddi am ei chyhoeddiad 'Captives in Cycles of Invisibility: Prisoners' Work for the Private Sector'. Mae hi wedi gwneud ymchwil ethnograffig mewn lleoliadau amrywiol gan gynnwys gydag isddiwylliannau gwrth-ddefnyddwyr a thu mewn i’r carchar, ac ar hyn o bryd mae’n ymwneud â dau brosiect ymchwil, 1) Cydweithio ag elusen i greu, darparu a gwerthuso addysg fenter ar gyfer pobl sydd wedi’u carcharu’n flaenorol, 2) Ymchwilio i fenywod profiadau o waith anweledig ar absenoldeb mamolaeth yn ystod y pandemig covid.

• Dr Robin Smith, Cardiff University School of Social Sciences: Bread and Butter: beyond the crises of ethnography toward a methodography of crisis response.
  
  Robin is currently Reader in Sociology in the School of Social Sciences, Cardiff University, where he teaches ethnography, urban sociology, interactionist theory, and ethnomethodology. Having spent his career in Cardiff, his research is influenced by the “open exploratory spirit” of that School, as well as the work of Harold Garfinkel and Harvey Sacks. With a range of collaborators, he has completed several ethnographic and ethnomethodological projects – large and small – describing urban outreach work with the street homeless; social scientific reasoning and coding practices; classroom interaction; social work assessment; street-cleaning and moral order; orienteering and navigation; and categorisation and perception in cycling, walking, and running. In his spare time, he has been conducting an ongoing participatory study of Mountain Rescue. He is also the UK lead on the ORA7/ESRC international project Visions of Policing, investigating how visual technologies shape emergent forms of police oversight and accountability in public, legal, and training contexts. He is former Editor-in-Chief of Qualitative Research, and co-editor of Urban Rhythms; The Lost Ethnographies; On Sacks: Methods, Materials, and Inspirations; Leaving the Field; and the forthcoming New Directions in Membership Categorisation Analysis.

Workshop and Dinner speaker

• Professor Ismail Al-Amoudi, Grenoble Ecole de Management: 'Doing fieldwork, no time for philosophy?'
  Ismael Al-Amoudi is a Professor at Grenoble Ecole de Management and a Senior Research Fellow at Cardiff University Business School. He joined Cardiff University as a lecturer in 2013 and has remained affiliated to the University since then. He is currently acting as an Associate Editor for the journal Organization, an Editorial Review Board member of Organization Studies, and an Academic Advisory Board Member of the Independent Social Research Foundation. Since 2018, he is the Director of the Centre of Social Ontology founded by Prof. Margaret Archer.
  Ismael’s research is grounded in critical realist social theory but he also draws reflexively from other philosophical traditions such as post-structuralism (Foucault), the sociology of conventions (Boltanski & Thévenot), and even Actor Network Theory (Latour) and the more recent works of Judith Butler. Doing so provides insightful perspectives on norms, violence and de/humanisation in contemporary organizations and societies. Ongoing projects concern the legacy of Margaret Archer to the social sciences; the nature of virtual reality; and how capitalist organizations legitimize violence.

Call for Papers

Ethnography has been traditionally thought of as a longitudinal and individual immersion in distant cultures. However, it has “taken on new stripes in the past few decades” (Tevington et al., 2023). Today, many ethnographers undertake transdisciplinary and creative research that produces original narrative and applied outputs.

The ethnographic research process has seen many innovations. To name just a few: there has been a proliferation of ‘quick and dirty’ rapid ethnographies (Vindrola-Padros & Vindrola-Padros, 2018) focused on short-term and intensive data collection in crisis-stricken healthcare; COVID-19 restrictions on in person research have led to a surge in evolving digital ethnographies (Forberg & Schilt, 2023); anthropocentric ethnographies have made room for multispecies analyses that give voice to non-human agents (Cornips & van den Hengel, 2021); other scholars have focused on the development of retrospective, collaborative autoethnographies (Tripathi et al., 2022) and carnal accounts (Wacquant, 2015) where researchers voice personal experiences and use their bodies for better sociological understanding.

But ethnography is not just a methodological research process. It also concerns the choices we make to write or otherwise present our findings (Forberg & Schilt, 2023). Books allow ethnographers to recreate the worlds examined in ways less constrained by word limits in journals (e.g. Delbridge, 1998), but even the latter increasingly create spaces for longer narrative accounts and non-conventional presentations that draw on creative methods to introduce new ways of thinking about the studied phenomena.

Sut mae ethnograffeg wedi arloesi ei hun dros y blynyddoedd? Sut olwg sydd ar ddyfodol ethnograffeg (Parsons et al., 2022)? Pa gyfleoedd y mae’r datblygiadau arloesol hyn wedi’u creu, a pha heriau y maent wedi’u cyflwyno? Sut gall ethnograffeg barhau i arloesi heb anghofio ei wreiddiau? Mae'r 17eg Symposiwm Ethnograffeg Blynyddol yn pwyso a mesur yr amrywiaeth o arloesiadau ethnograffig wrth ddysgu o ddoethineb y clasuron ethnograffig. Rydym yn croesawu papurau o unrhyw gefndir disgyblaethol ar unrhyw thema, ar yr amod eu bod yn defnyddio dull o ethnograffeg ac yn annog y sgwrs am draddodiad ac arloesiadau.
