UTS staff and graduate students are invited to attend a workshop on digital ethnography as method in the humanities and social sciences. The workshop will review current innovation in the use of digital media as research resources, and explore how they have been used in projects in sociology, history, and cultural studies. The program listed below may be amended subject to availability of other speakers.
A second workshop will be held in August to develop a selected number of the projects for potential e-publication, utilising interactivity available in Web 2.0 technologies.
A third workshop will then be held to prepare the final articles/projects for publication through the TFC ejournal.
The workshop is the first in a series being developed in conjunction with the Transforming Cultures Research Centre and the University Library e-Press.
Attendance is limited so please contact CCS ccs@uts.edu.au to book a place.
