This chapter describes experiences in collaborative projects through the 1990s and from 2009 to 2010 that have made an impression about how ethnographic work builds collaborative contexts. It provides a commentary on the perspective in collaborations with Doug Holmes, who co-authored an account on sustained collaborative friendship, and Keith Murphy, who tried to introduce a design-influenced pedagogical form that teaches the model of ethnographic research in a collaborative form. It also talks about the collaboration with Luke Cantarella and Christine Hegel on the atelier model of artistic collaboration across ethnographic projects based on scenic studio design and workshop methods. The chapter explores the heightened assessments of change that was brought on by the self-consciousness in the 1990s. It mentions a series of annuals by the University of Chicago Press on recruiting those with specific ethnographic experience to document change.
