Creative Methods

Want to try new things in Ethnography? Or maybe you have already but need some guidance? Explore creative methods in a workshop this July.

Ethnographic practices now extend beyond interviews and participant observation.

New digital tools, smart phones, video, art, photography, mapping and other audio-visual techniques can provide valuable data points for ethnographic research.

But how do we go about incorporating multiple methods? What does it mean for data management? And how do we make sure we're continuing to collect and collate relevant data of ethical integrity and efficacy?

At this event, we'll hear from Emeritus Professor Karen O'Reilly about the principles of ethnography and how these principles can guide us in selecting and applying creative methods to our work.

We'll also hear from fellow researchers about creative methods they have used or are using in their fieldwork.

This insightful discussion will be followed by a networking lunch we're we'll get to share stories and ideas about our work while we eat!
