The Chicago Ethnography Conference is an annual conference organized by and for graduate students. It provides a venue where graduate students from diverse disciplines can showcase their ethnographic research, exchange ideas with peers, and receive valuable feedback from Chicago-area faculty.
The conference is a joint effort by several Chicago-area Sociology departments, including: DePaul University, Loyola University, Northern Illinois University, Northwestern University, University of Notre Dame, University of Chicago, University of Illinois at Chicago, and the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
