Collecting words

What a heterogeneous group that had gathered for this walking seminar! The stories from the field and the people came from Lancaster and Japan, New York City and Mali, Bangladesh and New Newfoundland, Amsterdam and Utrecht, Europe and Afghanistan, Cameroon and Paris, Madrid and Barcelona, Brazil and India, Sweden and Belgium, Cambodia and the United States.

The format of the conversations was slightly different this time. Instead of discussing a topic, we talked about words. Everybody had brought three words that are decisive for her/his research project which made us end up talk about:

belief

policy

practice

ordering

life

place

browkerage

social rist

care

persuasion

attraction

aesthetics

appreciation

will

drive

surprise

pictoresque

womanhood

technology
