Abstract

George Marcus (1995:96), in a 1995 paper, defined multi-sited ethnography as "moving out from single sites and local situations of conventional ethnographic research designs to circulation of cultural meanings, objects, and identities in diffuse time-space." In the 18 years since, multi-sited ethnography as an object of study and practice has gained immense popularity. Both scholars and practitioners have applied the concept to many phenomena, including migrations (Fitzgerald 2006) and commodity chains (Bestor 2001; Freidberg 2001). Several recent books explore the concept in depth (Coleman and Von Hellermann 2011; Falzon 2009). However, little of this work has directly focused upon organizational ethnographies, and less still has examined how applied anthropologists inside and outside of academia can design projects to ensure benefit to those informants who make these ethnographies possible.
