Reigniting a tradition of learning by experience, Search After Method is a plea for more lively forms of anthropology. The chapters relate the contributor’s first experiences of working in the field and use their experiences to link their work to the discipline of Anthropology, along with other broader fieldwork questions.

Reigniting a tradition of learning from experience, Search After Method is a plea for livelier forms of anthropology. The anthropologists in the collection recount their experiences of working in the field, framed within a range of anthropological debates. The book thus provides accounts of lived experiences from both extensive and contemporary fieldwork as well as offering solutions for how to evolve the art of anthropological research beyond what is currently imagined.

Julie Laplante is Professor of Anthropology at the University of Ottawa in the School of Sociological and Anthropological Studies (SSAS).
