Dear all, Apologies for the cross-posting. Please don't answer to the list, but send me a private message to not spam this wonderful information network! Here is what I'm looking for (feel free to forward this information): The "Institut für Volkskunde/Europäische Ethnologie" at the LMU Munich is looking for a *conductor of a workshop on "ethnographic portrait writing"*. Our international PhD programme <www.en.transformationsprozesse.volkskunde.uni-muenchen.de> will have its Autumn school in Munich (Germany) from 5.-8. October 2016. Our PhD students (all have a background in cultural and/or social anthropology) want to learn *how to write a "good" portrait within an ethnographic text* *(dissertation, paper, etc.) **using the various types of infomation they have gathered/created during fieldwork (notes, interviews, etc)*. The workshop should address*two sets of skills*: * * *1. Creative "good" writing* *techniques* (describe a person vividly, etc.). *2.* Answering the question(s) of *"what might a portrait of a person stand for analytically in an ethnographic text"* resp. *"how can we connect a portrait with an analytical and/or theoretical layer"* (concepts, theory, etc.). The workshop itself will have to be *held Friday, 7th October (9am-12m)*. It would be great to have a *native speaker* or someone with an*excellent level of English*, since this will be the workshop language. The time for the workshop itself will be rather short. This is why we invite*workshop concepts that ask the students to prepare some material **beforehand* (e.g. parts of their conducted interview, field notes, etc.)*and then work with it during**the workshop*. We will be able to *cover the travel/accommodation costs as well as a honorarium* *(within Europe)*. Maybe it might also be possible to cover the stay for the whole conference (if interested), but this depends on honorarium negotiations. If you are interested or can recommend someone please get in touch with: Daniel Kunzelmann Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich Institute of Cultural Anthropology/European Ethnology email: *daniel.kunzelmann@gmx.de* phone: +49 (0)177/89 79 281 Deadline will be _*9 September*_!
