Policing Ethnography Conference 2023 What is this conference?
Ethnography has proved to be a crucial methodology for entering and understanding the world of policing. The contemporary ‘pluralised’ policing field comprises a multiplicity of public, private and voluntary organisations, inviting new avenues for ethnographic research and debate. This two-day conference brings together policing scholars and practitioners to discuss and share insights from ethnographic fieldwork undertaken with policing actors and social control professionals across different contexts.
Join us at the Ethnography Conference 2023 Who is this conference for?
Researchers who are interested in, or have undertaken, ethnographic fieldwork with pluralised forms of policing - from border enforcement officials and civil society groups to private security - and those researching more traditional forms of state policing via an ethnographic approach.
The event is also aimed at policing professionals interested in using ethnographic research for evidence-based practice.
