The IIQM invites you to register for the third talk of the Pushing the Boundaries of Qualitative Inquiry virtual speaker series: “Futures Ethnography,” presented by Dr. Sarah Pink.
The session will be hosted and moderated by Justine Kohleal (Curator and PhD Student, Art & Design).
In this talk, Dr. Pink introduces Futures Ethnography: ethnographic practice that is focused on investigating everyday experiences, imaginaries and visions of possible futures. She argues that establishing a futures ethnographic practice is vital if we are to address the questions of our times. Dr. Pink focuses on experimental, design and creative practice methods as modes of engaging with dominant narratives, participants in research, and academic and non-academic audiences. She discusses and demonstrates a selection of futures ethnography methods developed across recent projects, bringing to the fore the role of sensory, visual and documentary practice in this methodological field.
Dr. Sarah Pink is a design and futures anthropologist and documentary filmmaker. Dr. Pink is currently Laureate Professor and Director of the Emerging Technologies Lab and FUTURES Hub at Monash University. Her recent publications include her books Emerging Technologies / Life at the Edge of the Future (2023), co-authored Design Ethnography (2022) and the 4th edition of her Doing Visual Ethnography (2021), and her documentaries Smart Homes for Seniors (2021) and Digital Energy Futures (2023). Her co-authored book Can we Trust Technology will be published in 2025.
