Welcome to the Centre for Imaginative Ethnography (CIE)
…a transnational, independent research and creation network whose work spans Canada, China, Cuba, Haiti, Ireland, Italy, Kenya, and Poland, and is home to 84 members located around the world.
…a space for hospitality that welcomes you to join conversations about new ethnographic writing, and multisensory, multimedia, and multimodal storytelling in practice, in theory, and in learning and teaching.
…a point of departure that invites you to live and work differently, to reimagine the pasts, presents and futures of the worlds we inhabit.
