Dear colleagues,
I hope this email finds you all well. I am writing to share my latest article, "Precarity as a methodological framework in the study of socially reproductive labor: insights from an ethnography with migrant women household workers and their advocates in the semi‑periphery of global capitalism,"<https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10624-025-09776-w> which has just been published in Dialectical Anthropology as part of an upcoming special issue on migration, social reproduction, and capitalism guest-edited by Winnie Lem and Pauline Gardiner Barber. I figured it could be of interest to list members.
Thank you for your time and consideration and best wishes,

Hi everyone,

I am excited to connect to other scholars and practitioners who are
thinking about and teaching anthropological research methods.

My current project focuses on anti-ableist research methods and centering
the needs of disabled ethnographers. I'm sharing two publications related
to this work. One is my already published article "Anthropology
and Ableism" that highlights some of the problems that need to be
addressed. The other is a chapter in a forthcoming anthology that offers
collaboration between researchers as a way to conduct ethnographic research
in ways that provide greater disability accessibility. I describe in detail

Methods for Measuring Collective Memory, Identity, and Community Solidarity

Hi All,

I hope break is treating everyone well (for those of us who are on it). Biocultural anthropologist here… I am thinking about how one might measure collective memory as it is connected to identity and community solidarity. I am a third year and trying to work through how to frame my overarching questions and find the methods that fit. I feel like I am getting closer. I thought about looking at collective memory using cultural domain analysis, but I don’t *think* it gets to the question of interests (though if someone has thoughts/feedback there, I’d welcome it).

Hey Ca'la,

Another biological anthropologist here, so take this with a grain of salt. I'm sure other folks on here will have great ideas, but this is something that we've tried to do before. I think you can use consensus modeling as one tool for getting at this objective. The trick is to make sure you a good sample of questions for your scale. This will come from things like free-listing, life-history interviews, and just generally talking with people in the community. If you do this legwork well, it might be possible to come up with a set of questions

Hi Ca'la,

Another biocultural anthropologist here.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by 'collective memory', and whether it
is synonymous with cultural consensus. If that's what you mean, I think the
'memory' part may be misleading (perhaps you could say 'collective
attitudes or beliefs')? I think systematic anthropological methods like
those suggested above are phenomenal, yet we could benefit from making sure
our terminology is as consistent with other fields as possible. In the end,
how you choose to operationalize 'collective memory' should depend on your
specific research question, which is lacking from your email (remember,

Hi Ca'la,

Just chiming in with one of my favorite quotes about studying collective memory from Beth Roy:

“It is true that the stories I heard in that Bangladeshi village were not about “what happened” (itself a questionable concept). What I heard was how people saw what happened, or, rather, how people remembered what they saw, or, rather, how they talked about what they remembered, or, rather, how they talked to me about what they remembered—or, rather, what I heard people say to me about what they remembered [emphasis in the original]” (1994:5)

Hi everyone,

I'm teaching an anthro methods class, and we've looked at examples of how
people write about participant observation in grant applications, but my
students were interested in seeing slightly more detailed plans or
protocols for going about conducting observation (whether participant or
not). I wondered if anyone had examples they'd be willing to share? I think
they're not so much looking for structured observation checklists/data
collection tools but more how to plan for unstructured observation, eg
making a schedule of location, day/time, length of time, how to record
results of less structured observations, etc. Any suggestions would be

Hello everyone,

I hope this message finds you well! I want to first thank you for starting this fantastic platform for discussing research methods.

I’m currently in the early stages of planning my fieldwork, and I want to explore the potential use of agent-based modeling (ABM) for my PhD research. My project examines how various actors—such as local communities (segregated by caste), scientists, and state authorities—perceive and respond to the costs, benefits, and challenges associated with an apex predator reintroduction program.

Hi Ca'la,

linguistic anthropology is highly entwined with cultural anthropology, with an explicit focus on language as social action. Because linguistic anthropologists study language in cultural context, there may be little difference between how a cultural anthropologist and a linguistic anthropologist collect data, especially in observational studies of language use. It depends on the research question. Interviews and ethnographic observations are two of the main data collection methods in ling anth studies.

2. Are you thinking about a physical archive as in donating your materials? If so, did you get permission from participants for this or could you circle back for additional permissions?

As someone who has a physical archive at the Smithsonian Institute, I want to emphasize Ashanté’s questions as critical to consider before embarking on anything related to archives. Transparency and engagement with participants are incredibly important regardless of how you proceed. Since my physical archive was a result of a community-driven project, it was important to spend several years finding an archivist that truly understood the materials and treated the process of archiving ethically and thoughtfully.

digital including transcribed interviews (confidential), voice files of the
public speeches recorded by the institutions themselves (non-confidential),
and pictures from public spaces (non-confidential). Certainly, the
confidential data would be archived after being carefully anonymized as
required by IRB and with the permission from the interviewees. Can you

Seeking advice and examples for a photographic walk

Hello dear methods community!

I'm doing preliminary fieldwork for a new project on meat and fake meat in Germany, and advertisements for meat replacement products are everywhere! I want to find ways to systematically collect this visual data. One idea I had was to plan a walking route through the city I'm doing research in (Leipzig) and to photograph all ads/visual representations of meat and fake meat along the route. Ideally, I'd be able to walk this same route in future fieldwork visits to compare these representations over time.

Hello, Ariana,

One approach could be adapted from a simple behavior observation perspective. Time and measure the distance of your walk such that you count the number of adverts you see over time and distance. It would be akin to a focal follow except you are following yourself. You would be able to count the frequency of adverts over time and distance. Given you are interested in "representations" you could associated the different sorts of representation with time and distance data.

Dear Ariana,

if your camera geocodes each picture (most new smartphone models do), you will later be able to extract that information and map the route with Google Maps. This can help you keep track of your pictures, know where to return, among other useful things. See here:

At the research dissemination stage, you could also consider organizing your pictures, including by changes over time, with Story Maps: https://storymaps.arcgis.com/.

Dear CAMP Community,

I hope you are all doing well! I am currently in the field completing
semi-structured interviews (n=25) and I am looking for the best software to
use for thematic analysis. Can I ask y'all's expert opinions on which QDA
software you would recommend for qualitative analysis? NVivo, Atlas.ti,
MAXQDA, Dedoose, or perhaps something else?

all of those programs support all the components of thematic analysis -- identifying themes, writing memos about themes, testing for and visualing associations of themes ... so, the choice is not about which is best ...

this site

will help you decide

Hi Keegan,

I am sure others on this list have more experience than I do, but thought I would offer these thoughts:

I have used both Dedoose and MaxQDA. And, I have exported from Dedoose and pulled into Max. It is a bit visually messy but it works.

I have used Max in Japanese and it is not great. This is partially because the idea of word boundaries is very much an alphabet concept that does not hold across other orthographies. (And, word boundaries in Japanese are more stylistic (by author) not codified.) So, I would keep that in mind

Hi Keegan and all,

Here's my two cents—dedoose is free and can handle the basic text analysis just fine. MaxQDA costs money, can do all that dedoose can do, and is better at color coding things, meta-theme analysis, merging and splitting, as ​well as comparing with other coders. I've never used Max Pro, which supposedly handles the stats portion; for that, I default to R, which is free but with a slight learning curve. STATA, which is less flexible, requires payment, is also a common choice.
