Abstract

In this chapter, the authors show what has been possible when undertaking ethnographic work within certain restrictions. But they take their reflections further in considering the possible futures of organizational ethnography to embrace those studies with more fundamental challenges to convention. Before considering the futures of organizational ethnography, the authors offer some initial reflections that are born of the period of the pandemic and describe how the lead author developed and modified her research to respond to the specific challenges of that context. The Covid-19 pandemic of 2020–2021 necessitated that ethnographic researchers globally assess the efficacy of traditional approaches towards ethnography in a world in which the nature of work and the places within which work occurs is becoming increasingly fragmented and dispersed. The authors focus on some of the methodological, ethical and practical considerations in re-designing the original, traditional ethnography into a more digital form, in real time and in response to the Covid-19 pandemic.
