The Ethnographic Design Co.Lab (EDC) is a collective effort to embrace the experimental and the experiential. Building upon the reputation of Rice University’s Department of Anthropology as a hub for methodological and theoretical innovation, the EDC embraces participatory, multimodal, and community-oriented ethnography as well as collaborative and creative exercises in research design and ethnographic analysis. We are committed to engaging feminist, queer, Black, Indigenous, Latinx, diasporic, decolonial and abolitionist perspectives. We see ethnography as a vehicle for justice and imagination. Living and working in times of ongoing crises, we believe that ethnography enables us to envision new ways of thinking, acting, and being together.
