Our Research

  • The i Ethnography Lab conducts interdisciplinary research across diverse field sites to explore the intersections of technology, media, mobility, migration, cultural production, and social structures such as race, ethnicity, class, and gender.
  • The “i” in our lab name reflects both our affiliation with the Interfaculty Initiative in Information Studies (iii), University of Tokyo, and our interdisciplinary approach to ethnographic research. It is also connected to our predecessor, the ethno idea lab at Meiji University.

i エスノグラフィー・ラボ は、技術、メディア、移動・移住、文化生産、人種・民族・階層・ジェンダーなど、多様な社会構造の交差点を学際的に探究するため、さまざまなフィールドで研究を行います。

“i” には、情報学環(iii)での学際的(interdisciplinary) な研究アプローチの実践という意味があります。本研究室の前に明治大で運営していたethno idea labのiでもあります。
