Multi-situated ethnography, a good methodological framework for qualitative critical, feminist or queer research?

During recent years, multi-sited ethnography has become an increasingly popular tool for conducting ethnographic research across multiple research sites, in comparative research endeavors or across variegated online-offline sites. 

Based on the methodological framework often referred to as multi-sited ethnography, and sometimes denominated multi-situated ethnography, the workshop will explore the following questions: Why is multi-situated ethnography a good methodological framework for qualitative critical, feminist or queer research? What dilemmas can one encounter while performing multi-situated ethnography? What is multi-situated ethnography, and how is the method performed?

To facilitate this workshop, we have invited Anna Olovsdotter Lööv, senior lecturer in Gender Studies, Mid-Sweden University, and Signe Bremer, senior lecturer in Social Work, Mid-Sweden University. A brief introductory lecture will be followed by discussion about a joint reading and writing exercises. The workshop will draw on a co-written chapter by Bremer and Olovsdotter Lööv, as well as their previous and ongoing research.

All interested in multi-situated ethnography are welcome, both beginners and more experienced ethnographers!
