via @raulpacheco vitally important conversation to have 🙏

A terrific thread from @colleenwood_ in response to @DHirschelBurns, on the problems and possibility of rapport in digital contexts.
I enjoyed reading @DHirschelBurns's reflections on deciding not to pursue digital ethnography for his dissertation. A lot of food for thought for me, someone who very much leaned in on digital ethnography and interviews to make my dissertation happen

Rapport looks and feels different online, and we should definitely keep thinking about the conditions that make digital ethnography more or less appropriate as a method for different research questions and field sites. Hence the @digital_fw blog, I suppose :)
