Event Details

In a "Covid" world more and more humanities researchers are reaching for remote research techniques. An alarming trend seems to be to name all these techniques in and of themselves as “digital ethnography.”

This presentation will discuss the issues and problems associated with remote research and what it means to do remote interviews vs actual ethnographic work of digital contexts. I will draw on my experience doing ethnography immersed online and offline since the 1990s to help us collectively think about the nuances, opportunities and limitations of adopting various remote research techniques.

There will be a chance to ask questions at the end of the seminar presentation via Zoom
