Ethnographic Exploratory
and Multimodal-Lab
ABOUT: Welcome to the Ethnographic Exploratory (EE) and MultimodalLab (Lab). We invite into a community of practice in the former anthropology library at University of Copenhagen. Among old books and lots of green plants, you find a Lab with video and podcast equipment and a 3rd space for collaborative research experiments and pedagogy - for students, faculty and guests.
We take our point of departure in ‘the ethnographic’ and are closely affiliated with anthropology as a discipline and oriented toward other disciplines with an interest in the ethnographic. Dialogue and collaboration with other disciplines and engagement with broader publics is a part of EE’s aim and ethos. The focus is on the explorative, innovative, interactive - the sensory, multimodal, and playful.
The space is open and booked for (extra)curricular activities daily: film screenings, student events, department research seminars, PhD-courses, workshops, experiments and courses, incl. Multimodal Anthropology: Audiovisual and Digital Experimentation, Ethnographic Text, Climate Lab, and soon the Digital Culture BA: a collaboration between colleagues at Humanities and Social Sciences.
The EE and Lab provide an intellectual and technological infrastructure for faculty and students across BA-, MA- and PhD-levels and a platform to generate, showcase, and share knowledge and insight in other registers than the discursive. The MultimodalLab offers 5 editing suites/spaces for the growing number of students that hand in ‘Audio-visual Product Thesis’.
