Contribution short abstract

In this contribution, we reflect on over 14 years of joint fieldwork, conferencing and collaborative events. We ask what all of these experiences mean from the perspective of a young person who has been involved in anthropological practice their whole life.

Contribution long abstract

When children join their parents for fieldwork, it is often not only about being in a place where their parent is researching, but also about participating in events, meeting research partners, and, when all parties agree, actively collecting data (e.g., operating the "second camera" or recording sound). Likewise, participating in conferences like EASA is not only about being in a given place, but also about meeting and observing anthropologists, thus somehow unintentionally becoming an "ethnographer of ethnographers". Here we reflect on such experiences and on being the youngest presenter at the conference :).
