Ethnography in the Time of Facebook: Romani Voices and Social Media

The project documents Romani everyday lives and lived experiences with urban infrastructure within the largest Romani neighborhood in Sofia, Bulgaria through residents’ social media presence on Facebook. This enables a kind of Internet-based participatory and collaborative research methodology that moves beyond traditional ethnographic participant-observation.  This project is a recipient of a UCSB Fall 2017 Carsey-Wolf Center Faculty Research Support Grant.
