Skill School workshop series: Digital Ethnography
The Lund Social Science Methods Centre offers eight workshops in methods and methodologies from mid-September through mid-October in 2025. These are for teachers, researchers, and doctoral candidates who desire to continue to broaden and deepen their knowledge of research methods.
Below is a short summary and a link to Skill School's webpage where you will find more info and register for this and other Skill School workshops.
Ethnography is a broad, interdisciplinary research strategy that seeks to generate contextual knowledge about social worlds based on the immersion of the researcher into those worlds. In its classical (perhaps, analogue) version, researchers working in an ethnographic key commit themselves to ‘being there’ and ‘getting close’ to the everyday lives of the people, practices or places they study. Focusing on ambiguity, mess and mundanity, ethnographic research is celebrated for putting the ‘life’ back into everyday life and the ‘social’ back into social science.
The course may be especially interesting for participants who are planning to conduct fieldwork that requires some degree of ethnographic sensibility or a working on an otherwise immersive qualitative research project. But eventually, anyone interested in the epistemological, political and ethical implications of studying politics and power through immersion in both online and offline worlds will be most welcome.
