We all want to do good research - ask complex, nuanced and important research questions and answer them in depth, with credibility and impact. But we also want to have fun with it \u2013 to love our craft and enjoy our work. Collecting and generating data about people, their relationships, practices and cultures, and making sense of it is both a research endeavor and a creative endeavor.
\n\n
This course offers a rigorous yet playful approach to studying people, practices and cultures. We will explore creative and innovative yet methodologically and ethically sound approaches and techniques for studying how people make meaning on- and offline. \nThrough hands-on exercises, discussions and lectures, you'll learn to blend imagination with analytical precision.<\/br><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The course is rooted in the disciplines of anthropology, interpretative sociology, digital and visual culture studies and explores a range of creative methods, approaches and techniques for analyzing people\u2019s practices of meaning making both on-, and offline. All of the methods, approaches and techniques we discuss share an ethnographic sensibility. We\u2019ll cover creative methods for fieldwork and data generation, as well as for making sense of data and relating to one\u2019s own work as a researcher. We will talk about delineating various on-, and offline fieldsites, ways of being in the field, about contextualizing the research question and operationalizing contexts for study, about studying practices, platforms, and communication not only in textual, but also audio and visual modalities. Examples of methods, tactics and approaches that we will discuss and try (hands on) are mapping, moodboarding, AI-generating, \u2018getting off the porch\u2019 and walking-for-meaning, the \u201cbuddy system\u201d of interpretation, literary speculation etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
