@HanSuthers Hi I've just checked and the results will be circulated amongst ICON Ethnography group members in advance of our AGM (2023) when the members will vote on the name change. Hopefully that's helpful 😀

@IconEthnography Looking forward to hearing about it. Will the info be shared in another way as well? Looking at the details for this event I don't think it's appropriate for me to take up a space, especially as I'll only be able to tune in for a few of the other talks. Thanks!

Looking forward to this event - ICON Ethnography group will be presenting ‘What’s in a name?’ the results of the survey conducted by the group to assess members’ views of the term ‘ethnography’ and potential suitable alternatives. #conservation
