\n \n \n Dr. Bittel explores the mult idimensional processes at play\n in complex humanitarian emergencies that produce disparate long-term recovery\n outcomes in Sri Lankan communitie s as they recover(ed) from the 2004 Indian\n Ocean Tsunami and Sri Lankan civil war. This talk focuses specifically on the\n rapid rise of the tou rism economy in Sri Lanka’s Eastern Province\, to interrogate\n how recov ery and tourism development co-occur and highlight the implications\n for socio-cultural structures as communities work to integrate tourism into\n already-vulnerable social systems. Elizabeth will provide a brief presen tation of her research\n findings\, and then workshop ideas and questions for conducting long term ethnographic\n research in light of ongoing\, c o-occurring disasters in Sri Lanka including\n the the 2019 Easter Day te rrorist attacks in Sri Lanka which was the most\n violent attack on civil ians following the end of the war in 2009 and brought tragedy to both fiel d sites\, the global COVID-19 pandemic and associated\n travel restrictio ns\, and political uprisings. Central themes guiding the conversation will include how\n to ethically and logistically conduct long-term ethnograph ic research in communities\n as they experience intersecting\, chronic di sasters.\n
