Re-Setting & Re-Tooling: how do we experiment in academia?

Go back to index

The RUSTlab experiments with re-tooling social science methods for engaging with changing, distributed and heterogeneous socio-technical worlds. Among the well-known and innovative methods, we re-set, and mix in-depth observations, digital methods, participation, walkthroughs, storytelling, visualizations, data scapes, mappings, games, scenarios, emic comparisons, object ethnographies, etc.

We aim to update ethnography for rusty times and technological entanglements: collaboratively, engaging and participatory.

We are thinking about accessing and reusing ethnographic data while staying accountable to our study participants and fields.

Our formats include:

  • Writing Group with interdisciplinary friends
  • Graphic Recording
  • Learning digital methods (Daniel’s workshop, CAIS workshop, Open Science Foundation, Informatik’19, Seminar!)
  • Fieldwork Crash-Course 
  • Open data spaces
