The EUI Qualitative and Fieldwork Working Group (Qualifie) hosts its fifth session addressing the questions: How to do fieldwork online? And what are the challenges and benefits of doing digital ethnography?

In the fifth session of this term, Dr Branwen Spector (London School of Economics), co-founder of the LSE Digital Ethnography Collective, joins Qualifie to give an overview of digital ethnography and online fieldwork more generally. 

About the speaker

Dr Branwen Spector is a Visiting Research Fellow in the Department of Anthropology at the London School of Economics. She is currently developing a postdoctoral research project on new migration pathways into the European Union via Belarus. Her doctoral research looked at how Palestinian refugees and Israeli settlers in the Occupied Palestinian West Bank experience mobility through road, internet, and human infrastructures. Dr Spector is the co-founder of The New Ethnographer, a blog and consultancy that writes and teaches about challenges in fieldwork. She is also also the co-founder of the LSE Digital Ethnography Collective, a group of global scholars exploring digital research and methods.

The workshop is open to everyone, including external (non-EUI) participants. The Zoom link will be sent after registration.
