Gordon Ulmer has received a Ray Travel Award for support of his travel to deliver a paper at the annual meetings of the American Anthropological Association meetings in Denver, Colorado.  The paper,  “Ethnographic Inquiry in the ‘Digitized’ Fields of Madre de Dios, Perú and Oaxaca, Mexico: Methodological and Ethical Issues,” discusses methodological and ethical ramifications of utilizing digitally mediated forms of inquiry as complimentary to face-to-face ethnographic methods, drawing on experiences in two different time periods and unique research settings (my recent fieldwork with conservation workers in the Amazonian region of Madre de Dios, Peru and Jeff Cohen’s work in the late 1990s and early 2000s with craft producers in central Oaxaca, Mexico). The paper addresses methodological issues such as third-party-present effect, language competency and challenges of ‘netspeak’ in native languages, and temporality issues involving synchronous, asynchronous, and syncopated communication.  The manuscript is soon to be published in the Spring 2016 issue of Anthropological Quarterly.
