Multisituated: Ethnography as Diasporic Praxis Sunder Rajan Kaushik

In Multisituated Kaushik Sunder Rajan evaluates the promises and potentials of multisited ethnography in light of contemporary debates around decolonizing anthropology and the university. In this light, Sunder Rajan draws on his pedagogical experience and dialogues to reconceptualize ethnography as a multisituated practice of knowledge production, ethical interlocution, and political intervention. He observes that at the current moment, anthropology is increasingly peopled by diasporic students and researchers, all of whom are accountable to multiple communities beyond the discipline.

Foregrounding the conditions of possibility and difficulty for those doing and teaching ethnography Such a multisituated ethnography responds to contemporary anthropology's myriad commitments as it privileges attention to questions of scale, comparison, and the politics of ethnographic encounters.
