Resource: Digital Fieldwork Forum

Built by researchers for researchers, Digital Fieldwork.Org aims to offer a forum in which scholars with limited ability to conduct traditional fieldwork can help each other to identify and capitalize on the data-gathering opportunities, and explore and address the data-gathering challenges, involved in conducting “digital fieldwork.”

The site includes three kinds of content through which scholars can share ideas, insights, tools and techniques:
  • Reflections: original and experiential contributions developed in a variety of media (photo essays, poems, artistic representation, audio, videos, prose, poetic, etc.) that consider “how-to” carry out, manage, or address challenges in conducting digital fieldwork; or offer intellectual reactions to the experience of conducting digital fieldwork.
  • Resources: webinars and events, organizations and websites, trainings and workshops and collections of digital archival and news media resources related to digital fieldwork.
  • References: lists of books, articles, and guides on digital fieldwork, within the context of the pandemic and beyond.
