Description
Summary:When working in field sites that are neither entirely offline nor entirely online, researchers need a methodology that responds to fellow participants' lived realities. This guide introduces you to key topics in hybrid ethnography, a methodology through which researchers participate, observe, analyse, and share information across fieldsites that exceed an online/offline divide. Hybrid ethnography responds to changes in the way people live technologically mediated lives and involves theoretical shifts in the research landscape. Hybrid researchers respond to the digital divide and voices that are underrepresented online, listening carefully offline and online to form inclusive research practices. Furthermore, hybrid ethnographers can work with communities during a pandemic or other crisis, such as safety-based prohibitions on in-person meetings; this creativity and resilience allow the work to continue.
