Mapping, Representing, and Visualising Ethnographic Data

9 July 2025, 2:30-6:30 PM + 10 July 2025, 10:30-12:30 AM
University of Trento, Department of Sociology and Social Research

The pre-conference workshop provides an opportunity for Ph.D. students and junior post-docs engaged in ethnographic and qualitative research to discuss their work with colleagues and senior researchers in an interdisciplinary, informal and stimulating environment.

For this conference edition, the workshop focuses on the representation of ethnographic data and analysis, including complex networks of eco-social and power relations. Qualitative research generates rich, in-depth findings, yet it often fails to synthesise, visualise and formalise them. This reduces the potential impact, circulation, and re-use —across disciplinary communities, and beyond— of these analyses. Drawing on participants’ ongoing fieldwork and data communication challenges, the workshop aims to explore modalities, techniques, and artefacts for the wider use of ethnographic findings.
