My first publication is out! I loved putting together this guide, which offers readers some methodological guidance for doing ethnography with Instagram. It's a part of the Sage's Doing Online Research and finds itself in the company of some other great methodological resources. I'm grateful for the opportunity to contribute.

Abstract

This guide applies an ethnographic method to the internet platform Instagram. Following scholarship by digital anthropologists and internet studies researchers, it invites readers to reconceptualize the traditional “fieldsite” to incorporate digital communities and networks. Readers will learn how to apply ethnographic practices, such as participant-observation to Instagram. Additionally, it overviews important ethical considerations all internet researchers are tasked with attending to as they do ethnography online.
