Methodology

The references we list were originally drawn from two sources. The first was a bibliography of relevant literature assembled by Deborah Groen (a PhD candidate at Georgetown University) at the request of our team. In brief, that bibliography was assembled by conducting a preliminary search using a range of relevant keywords (e.g., “digital fieldwork,” “online fieldwork + social science”) via Google Scholar and the Georgetown University library’s search engine (which spans many databases). The second was an extensive lists of references to research discussing how to conduct fieldwork during the pandemic created by Professor Deborah Lupton (SHARP Professor of Arts, Design, & Architecture in the Centre for Social Research in Health and the Social Policy Research Centre at the University of New South Wales, Sydney); we are grateful to Professor Lupton for granting us permission to draw from her references list. In addition, our team carries out systematic searches for additional relevant literature on a regular basis.
