Looking at the 'field' through a Zoom lens: Methodological reflections on conducting online research during a global pandemic
Descripción general
Resumen del artículo
Online fieldwork, while different from traditional in-person methods, can be surprisingly immersive and revealing. The author found that online interactions allowed for more relaxed conversations, revealed different aspects of participants' lives, and facilitated a more symmetrical researcher-participant relationship, even within the limitations of the COVID-19 pandemic context.
