Do you have a vision for how anthropology and kindred fields should change going forward, possibly through new digital tools?

More collaboration across disciplinary boundaries! Ultimately the work that sociologists, anthropologists, and other social scientists (or even researchers in other fields entirely) is not that different—and even when it is, nearly all of our work would benefit from cooperation with people approaching the same problem from different perspectives.

What experiences have you had archiving, working with digital tools and designing digital architecture (including websites)?

Saturday, June 4, 2022 - 10:32pm

I have extensive experience working with GIS data, both analysis and presentation (see examples here: https://arcg.is/0O1L9m and here: https://arcg.is/1fDbHr). I also have a decent amount of video editing experience. I haven’t worked much with archiving directly, but I did help develop a “learning archive” of resources for members of the school community where I worked in undergrad.

What experiences have you had as an ethnographer?

Saturday, June 4, 2022 - 10:32pm

I’ve conducted two relatively small ethnographic projects on public transportation (one on my own in Orange County and one with a class in Philadelphia). I’ve also done a lot of ethnographic observation in elementary schools, primarily in West Philadelphia music classrooms with undergraduate student volunteers.
