I have an abiding interest in scrapbooks as an off-shoot of the traditional field notes and journals used by ethnographers. As a bridge to a more fluid engagement with visual research, developing a practice of scrapbooking helps me to defamiliarize a straight journaling practice that I've never found especially fruitful.

I maintain this page as an ongoing project and as a resource for students taking my courses.
