Ethnography for Human Rights: Research, Advocacy, and Justice in International Spaces

Kyle Knight is a senior researcher on health and LGBT rights at Human Rights Watch. He will talk about what his time as a cultural anthropology student at Duke meant for him in terms of developing research skills, curiosity, skepticism, and confidence, and how those skills have translated into a research career. He will discuss how he uses ethnographic writing as a resource in his work as a human rights researcher and advocate, and ethnographic sensibilities as a counterpoint to some of the temptations as a professional in international relations spaces.
