Dr Natalie Ann Hendry, Senior Lecturer in Youth Wellbeing in the Faculty of Education at The University of Melbourne, Australia will be visiting Durham this month and presenting a seminar for DRMC on Thursday 24th October 2024, 1100-1230
Seminar Title: Digital Ethnography, Digital Hoarding and Writing about Excess!
Abstract: One of the challenges for digital ethnographers, including those starting out as well as more experienced researchers, is what to do with all of that digital data — the excess or leftovers that seem to clutter our research folders, fieldwork notebooks or half-finished manuscripts. Engaging with excess can be overwhelming, especially if our initial introduction to rigorous research was marked by clear research questions, coherent research boundaries and focused analysis. This seminar will discuss the concepts of hoarding and digital hoarding as ways to explore the implications of “too much data” in digital ethnography research. Drawing on discussions in a forthcoming edited collection, Data Excess in Digital Media Research (Emerald), co-edited with Prof Ingrid Richardson (RMIT University), I will share insights from my digital ethnography research and consider how we might embrace data excess as productive and generative.
