You are required to obtain permission for the use of the visual material before your essay can be published.

Reflections and reports from field research

Ethnographical field research allows for an extremely wide range of methodologies that primarily depend on the subject matter, location and the researchers themselves and their decisions. In the ‘Reflections and reports from field research’ section, we wish to publish initial research based on experiences from field reconnaissance and notes from researchers’ personal projects (from 1500 to 2500 words + keywords).
