About Us

Doingethnography@sta is a collectively-run blog that showcases undergraduate students’ diverse ethnographic projects in Caribbean Anthropology. This voluntary, not-for-profit initiative emerges from student research conducted in Anthropology of the Peoples of the Caribbean and Introduction to Anthropology, courses offered at University of the West Indies, St. Augustine campus. As part of the public mission of this university in the southern Caribbean, the idea is to create a platform for undergraduate student mini-ethnographies and ethnologies that highlight various aspects of everyday and ritual life in Trinidad and Tobago. Some students prefer to remain anonymous and some sign their names, but all are eager to contribute to the aim of popularizing anthropological perspectives of Caribbean multiculturalism in the hope of shaping a more equal future. While this blog is a collective effort started by Shelene Gomes, special thanks to the labours of Leanna Doodnath, Elron Elahie, and Nirmal Maraj.
