Our work at EthnoLab takes place in the contexts that are meaningful and relevant to communities and their concerns. We go to where the people are and engage, face-to-face. We are present to hear their concerns, to be alive to their needs, and to center their experiences. We are mindful of the interplay between identities, histories and social structures. When working in partnership with others we follow the lead of our collaborators, and take the lead when warranted. Whether working with international agencies, local governments, or small organizations at home or abroad, we bring empathy and respect for the communities our clients serve.
