Isolation measures to contain the spread of COVID-19 mean that social researchers who conduct face-to-face fieldwork (interviews, focus groups, participant observation, ethnographies etc) confront the challenge of either delaying or re-inventing their methods so that they can continue their research until these measures are relaxed. This webinar will explore ways that researchers can adapt approaches for online data collection.
COVID-19 and Doing Virtual Fieldwork
Isolation measures to contain the spread of COVID-19 means that social researchers who conduct face-to-face fieldwork (interviews, focus groups, participant observation, ethnographies etc) are now faced with the challenge of either delaying or re-inventing their methods so that they can continue their research until these measures are relaxed. This webinar will explore ways that researchers can adapt their methods.
Data in the Disciplines: Ethnographic Data Modules
The curriculum was created by Celia Emmelhainz. It adapts inspiration and slides from more general research data management workshops developed by Amanda Whitmore in 2015, and redelivered by Parvaneh Abbaspour, Amy Blau, Eli Gandour-Rood, David Isaak and Gary Klein in 2016 – at the core of which is DataOne and NECDMC educational content.
