title = "Mobility of Mind: can we change our epistemic habit through sustained ethnographic encounters",
abstract = "This chapter is dedicated to a reflexive consideration of how far the anthropologist might go when incorporating plurality into their research. Kearney explores the qualities of mobility and immobility of mind, reflecting on how we/she might know the world and respond to what we learn through ethnographic encounters. The chapter examines receptiveness and responsibility as residing with the anthropologist, in contexts where our collaborators dedicate years to teaching us. Should we be changed by what we learn in ethnographic exchanges? And if we are changed, can we speak to or write of that epistemological mobility? In response, this chapter considers how the non-Indigenous practitioner might change their epistemic habit and how this might further an intercultural commitment or decolonizing logic in social research.",
