Meeting Description:
The CLCR Linguistic Ethnography Research and Study Group (LEDS) held its inaugural meeting on 22nd October 2014. The group provides an informal, constructive forum for discussion about a wide range of matters related to linguistic ethnography including its interface with ethnography more generally and with (British) anthropology. We hope that, as the group develops, members will be willing to engage in methodological and theoretical discussion.
