Slow Ethnography: Heritage, Industry and Environmental Racism in the American Gulf States

This episode of The Slow Memory Podcast features Dr Lucy Bond and Dr Jessica Rapson, co‑chairs of Working Group 5 (Transformation of the Environment), in conversation about their British Academy and Leverhulme Trust–funded research on heritage, industry and environmental racism in the American Gulf States. They explore their approach to immersive, slow ethnography—spending extended time in the region, engaging with local communities, interviewing activists, and mapping tourist experiences. The discussion highlights the methodological, ethical, and wellbeing challenges of long‑term, place‑based research, and argues for the value of slowness in producing meaningful, critically engaged scholarship.
