“The Pandemic as Portal:” A panel on Digital Ethnographic Methods
Understanding the complex processes that create and reinforce social inequalities, discrimination, and oppression in communities across the world has never been more urgent. Yet, with the COVID-19 pandemic, our ability to safely and ethically conduct in-person ethnographic research is limited. In this panel discussion, I talk through the unique challenges and new opportunities facing qualitative researchers today alongside two other ethnographers who have also pivoted to teach courses on virtual/digital methods. For an engaging piece on my experience teaching virtual/digital methods at the University of Chicago, see this article by the Mansueto Institute for Urban Innovation.
