Practical information
In this session, Jordan Dez will discuss the empirical method of ethnography and the challenges and potential for this method within empirical legal research. Jordan will share her own experience using ethnography as part of PhD research on how undocumented migrants use the freedoms of speech, assembly, and association in human rights activism. This method is highly relevant for researchers using triangulated qualitative methods and also for the broader context of Law in Action.
LEVEL: Basic
METHOD: Qualitative
ABOUT THE LECTURER: Jordan Dez works as a lecturer at the Constitutional and Administrative Law department of the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam.

ELS Academy’s No-Show Policy:
Please note that the workshops are given by experts in the field who do this on a voluntary basis. Places are often limited and we have people on the waiting list. For this reason, the ELS Academy has a strict no-show policy. In case you are prevented from attending the workshop, kindly send an email to contact@elsacademy.nl at least 48 hours before the workshop to make space for people on the waiting list.
If you do not attend the workshop without prior cancellation, your supervisor will be informed about your no-show and you will not be able to register for another ELS Academy event for the next two months. This is also very unfortunate for us, however, it can be prevented if we receive a simple cancellation via e-mail.
Thank you for understanding and see you there!
