Description
Summary:This case is born from a project that examines the ways members of peer-based recovery groups in the jam band music scene address the growing problem of drug addiction in the United States through nonprogrammatic, grassroots, and affinity-based recovery and sobriety networks based on data gathered during 5 years of ethnographic research. In this case, I discuss my decision-making process in shifting to a virtual ethnographic methodology compelled by the COVID-19 pandemic. Although a global pandemic is an extreme example, I argue that qualitative researchers should be equipped and ready for drastic change in their methods and work because working with people in their daily lives is generally unpredictable.
