Skill School workshop-serie: Digital Ethnography

Nedan följer en kort sammanfattning och en länk till Skill Schools webbsida där du hittar mer information och kan anmäla dig till denna och andra Skill School-workshops. Workshopen hålls på engelska.

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.  

Time: 13:15-16:00 both days

Instructor: Kristin Anabel Eggeling, Copenhagen University, Department of Political Science
