Join us as the editors and authors discuss their contributions to the September 2022 Qualitative Sociology Special Issue on Digital Ethnography. The special issue features an introduction by guest editors Jeffrey Lane & Jessa Lingel, an afterword by Mario Small, and seven empirical articles that use digital ethnographic methods to answer core sociological questions related to community, culture, urban life, violence, activism, professional identity, health, and sociality. This public event will be moderated by Melissa Aronczyk (Rutgers University); co-founder of Rutgers Digital Ethnography Working Group.
