[Air-L] Short internet ethnography suggestions

Thu Nov 15 06:02:52 PST 2018

Hello everyone!
I'm sorry I don't participate much in this series.
I'm currently researching on digital ethnography focused on migrants. If
you had any specific text or author, particularly on methodology, that you
think is a mist I would be very glad.
Best regards.
