Speakers

Overview

Understanding users, their practices and their communities increasingly require fieldwork by scholars. In this one day workshop, professor Harviainen discusses ways in which to conduct user ethnography, how to document user practices, how to organize relevant workshops for data gathering or information systems co-design, how to get data from hard-to-access or marginalized populations, as well as non-users, and how to efficiently report ethnographic findings in IS contexts.
