How to Use Collaborative Event Ethnography to Support Interdisciplinary Research on Complex Social Issues

Speaker(s):

Jennifer L. Lanterman, University of Nevada, Reno

Abstract:

Collaborative event ethnography (CEE) allows researchers to both "study up" to examine large-scale phenomena and "study down" by focusing on individual experiences (Brosius & Campbell, 2010). CEE also allows researchers to examine complex, large-scale, and dynamic social phenomena in action. This workshop explains the CEE method and process, and we share an example of how CEE supported interdisciplinary research on a complex social issue.
