“…First, the model of lone ethnographers (often white, male) (Gottlieb 1995) persists as the basis of ethnographic teaching and training for students, i.e. 'next generation' anthropologists (El Kotni et al 2020;Yates-Doerr 2020), and therefore has been self-sustaining (Galman 2007;Ruth et al 2022). However, the model has been facing increasing challenges both in research (Holmes and Marcus 2008;Yates-Doerr 2020;Thomsen 2022;Thomsen et al 2022) and student training (Brunson et al 2021;El Kotni et al 2020).…”

The Vertically Integrated Project (VIP) model, developed in engineering, is a methodological approach that integrates undergraduate students, graduate students and faculty in projects for both research and student training. Recent applications of this model report that it could foster student-faculty collaboration, empower senior students to mentor juniors, transcend disciplinary silos that often hinder research, and promote diversity and inclusivity in higher education. Our cross-disciplinary experimentation with this model in ethnographic methods training demonstrates its value to facilitate or even institutionalize faculty-student collaborative research and mutual learning in social sciences. We also suggest transforming this model to be less hierarchical in collaboration, more mutually beneficial for all involved, and more sustainable for long-term projects.
