Episode 6: Exploring Research Methodologies—Ethnography and Case Studies

In this episode we pivot from grounded theory to explore participatory and collaborative research. We'll delve into ethnography and case studies and I'll share some of my own insights into the various synergies between the methodologies  and explore how as interdisciplinary scholars and practitioners, we have the incredible opportunity to work across the (artificial?) boundaries of various methodological camps if we so desire.
