Hello everyone! I'm sorry I don't participate much in this series. I'm currently researching on digital ethnography focused on migrants. If you had any specific text or author, particularly on methodology, that you think is a mist I would be very glad.

Hi Devin,
My favourite topic! I agreed that Hine, Nardi and Boellstorff are all excellent. As for article-length works that give a good feel for ethnography, perhaps:
boyd, d. (2016). ‘Making Sense of Teen Life: Strategies for Capturing Ethnographic Data in a Networked Era’ in Hargittai and Sandvig (eds.) Digital research confidential: the secrets of studying behavior online. Massachusetts, USA: MIT Press. pp. 79-103. https://www.danah.org/papers/2012/Methodology-DigitalResearch.pdf
Burrell, J. (2009). ‘The field site as a network: A strategy for locating ethnographic research’. Field Methods. 21,2, pp. 181–199.
Madianou, M. and Miller, D. (2013). ‘Polymedia: towards a new theory of digital media in interpersonal communication’. International Journal of Cultural Studies. 16 (2), pp. 169–87.
I know you said you aren't looking for a piece about ethnography, but I found this piece incredibly useful for thinking about online/offline research:
Hine, C. (2017). ‘Ethnography and the Internet: Taking Account of Emerging Technological Landscapes’. Fudan Journal of the Humanities and Social Sciences. 10,3, pp. 315-329.
Best, Zoe

Good morning, Devin and all,
Christine Hine's work may be of help, especially her Virtual Ethnography. Tom Boelstroff and Bonnie Nardi are two other names that come to mind.
Best wishes, Peter

Eleanor,
In the long tradition of shameless self-promotion, I think a piece I recently published on scientific knowledge construction in Otherkin facebook groups might work. It's geared toward an STS audience, but comes out of years of online ethnography. Here's the link: https://estsjournal.org/index.php/ests/article/view/252
Hope it helps, Devin

Hi Everyone!
I have agreed to teach a guest lecture on ethnography for a friend's undergraduate research method course and I'm wondering if people in this group might have suggestions for a really great reading. I really want to give them a reading that is itself an ethnography (rather than being a piece about ethnography or how to do it), and that deals with some aspect of technology or internet and society, perhaps incorporating both online and offline ethnographic methods. Perferably something published in the last 8 years to keep it contemporary. I have tons of favorite ethnographic pieces in this vein, but the problem is most of them tend to be books and I don't think you can get a good feel for these works by just reading one chapter. So does anyone have suggestions about short readings, perhaps, a journal article, that fit the bill?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
Eleanor
