This workshop is thus designed as a space where PhD students and post-docs share their recent fieldwork experiences for two main purposes: 1) to further explore migrants\u2019 subjectivities in order to challenge above and beyond concepts such as \u201cculture\u201d \u201cborder\u201d and \u201ctransnationality\u201d; and 2) to better understand researchers\u2019 reflexivity and position in order to challenge the power dynamics which ultimately shape the research outcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">Department of East Asian Studies\/Chinese Studies, University of Vienna, Austria<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"cu_event_type":[],"cu_event_audience":[],"class_list":["post-2297","cu_event","type-cu_event","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":{"cu_event_start_date":"2017-06-26T00:00:00","cu_event_end_date":"2017-06-27T00:00:00","cu_event_location_type":"in-person","cu_event_meeting_address_type":"on-campus","cu_building":false,"cu_event_meeting_room":"","cu_event_meeting_address_full":null,"cu_event_virtual_type":"tbd","cu_event_virtual_meeting_link":"","cu_post_thumbnail":false,"cu_event_cost":"","cu_event_registration":"","cu_event_secondary_button":"","cu_event_contact_name":"dialogues.ethnology@univie.ac.at","cu_event_email":"","cu_event_phone":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/mds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event\/2297","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/mds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/mds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cu_event"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/mds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/mds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event\/2297\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2299,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/mds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event\/2297\/revisions\/2299"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/mds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2297"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cu_event_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/mds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event_type?post=2297"},{"taxonomy":"cu_event_audience","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/mds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event_audience?post=2297"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
