What are Reflections?

Original and experiential contributions of 1,000–2,500 words developed in a variety of media (photo essays, poems, artistic representation, audio, videos, prose, poetic, etc.) that consider “how-to” carry out, manage, or address challenges in conducting digital fieldwork; or offer intellectual reactions to the experience of conducting digital fieldwork.
