## Panel on Ethnographic Writing

This session explores ethnography as a way of thinking, asking, and writing. Bringing together ethnographers of different conceptual and geographical interests, the session contemplates ethnography as genre. A particular focus will be on experiences that cannot necessarily be represented—from hauntings to wildfires and subjectivity—and thus pose both challenges and openings for ethnographic writing.
