However, it is not only academics who are interested in\u00a0thinking about thought, or what psychologists have called &#8216;metacognition&#8217;. Many subjects of ethnographic studies have tacit assumptions, or formulate explicit theories, about the nature of thoughts and the proper relationship one ought to have to\u00a0them. Ethnographic research can teach us great lessons about the extent to which such thought about thought can vary, or be transmitted from one person to another.<\/p>\n<p>This informal workshop will feature a number of experienced ethnographic researchers speaking about how thought about thought features in the social worlds they have studied before engaging in discussion with the audience.
