Dear
all,
Apologies
for cross posting.
We are
currently searching for literature that considers methods for conducting
ethnographic/qualitative work online. This includes work on ethics, approaches,
methodological issues and examples of work that engages with online communities,
such as chatrooms or discussion fora, and social media platforms such as
Facebook. If anyone on this list could recommend any work on this topic we would
be most grateful.
The
review is for an AHRC-funded Connecting Communities Scoping Study entitled
'Crafting communities: connecting 'online' and 'offline' making practices'. The
remit of the project is to conduct a literature review and fieldwork to explore
the relationship between everyday creative practices and the use of digital
technologies among craft practitioners. It also interrogates experiences of
connectivity, and how (dis)connection affects the contours and experiences of
everyday life.
We will
compile and circulate a bibliography in due course. Any suggestions greatly
appreciated!
Best
wishes
Dr Simon
Moreton, Dr Nicola Thomas, Dr Roberta Comunian, Dr Caroline
Chapain.
