how are we supposed to get in touch with “the field” in times of social distancing, lockdowns and quarantines? how can we do field research when our options regarding research trips and stays are extremely limited?
Regarding these questions, I started to collect resources that could help us develop creative and rather unorthodox solutions to continue and/or implement research projects despite the current developments.
The main focus is on moving to digital spaces and fields and on using methods that avoid face-to-face contact. Here’s a (preliminary) list of resources:
