Short internet ethnography suggestions
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, 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.

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 On Thu, Nov 15, 2018 at 7:25 AM Devin Proctor <dproctor@gwu.edu> wrote:

It is outside of your time range, but my students really "get it" when they read Old Wine, New Bottles by the late Diana Forsythe about the development of a migraine patient explanatory system. Kalpana On 15 November 2018 at 12:28, Peter Gloviczki <pgloviczki@coker.edu> wrote:

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.

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!

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.

Dear all: Today, the GovLab<http://www.thegovlab.org/> at NYU Tandon School of Engineering announced the launch of The Living Library<http://thelivinglib.org/> – a new resource that seeks to inform those interested in and working at the intersection of technology, innovation, and governance. Specifically, the site includes thousands of curated pieces of content – ranging from journal articles and research papers, to thought pieces and book summaries – all of which can be searched or filtered by an array of categories such as geography, topic, governance level, or sector. Developed with support from the MacArthur Foundation<https://www.macfound.org/> and the Luminate Group<https://luminategroup.com/>, The Living Library builds on the success of the GovLab Digest – a weekly curated email with thousands of readers – to provide actionable knowledge on governance innovation in a searchable and navigable platform. “At a time of information overload and misinformation, decision-makers have a hard time identifying the signal in the often noisy coverage of civic tech, big data, open innovation, and other buzz terms,” said Stefaan G. Verhulst, Curator of the Living Library and Co-Founder of the GovLab. “The Living Library seeks to not only make the field more evidence-based, it also tries to signal important views, trends, and practices worth noting.” Content on The Living Library spans topic areas ranging from artificial intelligence, open data, and blockchain, to citizen science, open innovation, crowdsourcing, and civic technology. With an international purview, The Living Library draws on global research and insights from a vast array of sectors. With an ever-growing agglomeration of information continuing to occupy physical and digital space around the world, The Living Library – as the Digest did previously – attempts to extract and deliver the most useful and insightful pieces of knowledge to innovators around the world, and is intended to inform and inspire policymakers, practitioners, technologists, and researchers alike. The Living Library provides users with five key offerings: 1. The Collection<http://thelivinglib.org/> – a compilation of more than 5,000 pieces of curated content – articles, reports, case studies, opinion pieces, and more – that are updated daily and cataloged<http://thelivinglib.org/catalog/> according to content topic, sector area, governance level, geography and region; 2. The Digest<https://thegovlab.us6.list-manage.com/subscribe/post?u=1a990feb5c&id=d90a01c7ff> – a weekly newsletter highlighting 20 new pieces of actionable knowledge on governance innovation (see below what readers say about the Digest, and subscribe to the Digest <http://thelivinglib.org/subscribe/> here<http://thelivinglib.org/subscribe/>); 3. The Index<http://thelivinglib.org/the-govlab-index> – a collection of statistics and data sources relevant to governance innovation; 4. Selected Readings<http://thelivinglib.org/the-govlab-selected-readings> – an annotated and curated collection of recommended works on key open governance topics; 5. 21st Century Vocabulary<http://thelivinglib.org/21st-century-vocabulary/> – a descriptive collection of emerging concepts and terms related to current efforts to improve governance. Visit the new website at http://thelivinglib.org/. For more information or suggestions, please contact Stefaan Verhulst (stefaan at thegovlab.org<http://thegovlab.org>). What Readers of the Digest Say<https://thelivinglib.org/testimonials/>: “The Digest has an uncanny ability to uncover the most informative literature about the digitalization of the economy and government…It keeps me informed and I recommend it to others who don’t have or want to spend the time to stay abreast of technological innovation and policy impacts. I eagerly devour each Digest message.” – Paul Wormeli, Innovation Strategist at Wormeli Consulting LLC “The Digest is my personal clearinghouse for open governance and governance innovation issues. It helps me to navigate through the comprehensive and always growing body of knowledge. There’s no better way to stay updated with what is coming up from research’s state of the art or practice frontier.” – Silverio Zebral Filho, Head of Government Innovation at the Organization of American States “I love how The Digest provides a quick and comprehensive view on the most interesting ideas and publications out there in the world of government innovation and effectiveness. I’d warmly recommend The Digest to anyone who wants to stay on top of what’s happening in the community.” – Danny Buerkli, Programme Director, Centre for Public Impact

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
