 My name is Divya Vaidh. I'm an assistant professor at Javal Naal Nehru University. I have a chapter in this book on the ethnographic approach to social mobility. The aim of this chapter was to do a literature review but to also develop an analytical framework through which we could see what contributions ethnography can make to the study of social mobility. Ethnography is a combination of method but it's also an approach of writing, description is very critical and the context of time and place is very important to the ethnographic approach. Ethnography also allows one to focus on spatial mobility. Migrants who move from one country to another might actually experience social mobility in terms of occupational improvement. They might spatially move and their occupational position might not be much better but because they left their home country and they migrated to perhaps from a developing country to the developed world they actually seem to be status mobiles. Often the study of social mobility has been from certain disciplinary perspectives. For instance quantitative sociologists have often looked at social class position as indexed by occupation, economists have looked at income or assets and ethnographers have looked at anxieties and narratives of experiences. So a combination of these approaches would actually allow perhaps for the first time a more comprehensive understanding of social mobility. What UNI water can do is set the agenda to inspire research that can help us understand this complex issue.
