Národopis (Czech and Slovak for “ethnography”) is a list for anthropologists, sociologists, folklorists, and other social scientists interested in Slovakia and Czech Republic, as well as cultural historians working on the former Czechoslovakia. The site and list are especially aimed at ethnographers currently working in Czech and Slovak Republics or on Slovak and Czech topics, to allow discussion of practical and theoretical issues and networking among fieldworkers. The primary list languages are English, Czech, and Slovak. The list tends to be fairly quiet, but has been useful for circulating job and fellowship opportunities and for networking.
Members of this discussion group were major contributors to the special issue of Anthropology of East Europe Review on "Czechs, Slovaks, Roma, and Sorbs" in 2005, now available in expanded form as a book from ibidem-Verlag.

Ethnographers in the Czech Republic and Slovakia may also be interested in the following email discussion groups:
- FieldNetECE is a networking resource for researchers in the social sciences and history (very loosely defined). The purpose is to allow researchers who will be in East Central Europe to meet other researchers in order to facilitate research, contact sharing or provide moral support against the adversities of fieldwork. FieldNetECE is a moderated list which means that it will carry a low volume of messages with essential information -- it will be limited to sharing contact information and brief personal information. To subscribe to FieldNetECE, contact the listowner at owner-fieldnetece@columbia.edu
- H-SAE (the H-Net List for the Society for the Anthropology of Europe) on the H-NET Humanities Online Listserv at Michigan State University. H-NET sponsors more than 80 Listserv lists for scholars in history and the humanities. Please visit them at http://www.h-net.msu.edu for more information about all of their lists, the Book and Software Review Project, the H-Net Job Guide, and the many other projects and initiatives sponsored by H-NET.
