Episode Synopsis "Ash Watson on using Zoom to conduct home visits "

In our third episode Ash Watson reflects on adapting an ethnographic research project once restrictions meant that home visits were no longer possible. These home visits are now conducted virtually, using Zoom, revolving around a virtual tour of their home, exploring the material, affective and sensory properties which shape their experience of these spaces. There are many constraints involved in this transition but also new forms of connection between which are opened up.
