      Discussion on Daniel Miller's Video Forum

      Please comment and share your reactions here. The video is online , if you want to watch again. 

      Feel free to make constructive comments and criticisms on any aspect of it. You can also comment on the following issues:

      Whether you think it's only anthropologists / ethnographers who learn through honing their sensitivity and listening skills.

      Whether constraints, such as those created by a pandemic or other considerable disruption, might in fact help create better methods and improve the work that researchers do. Consider also by what criteria the resulting research would be an improvement.

      You could discuss Miller's characterization of ethical concerns in research as guided more by bureaucratic and institutional needs than by human ones.

      For some of your discussion, it may be a good idea to briefly sketch out some example to help us get the point.
