In traditional anthropology which is the subject and background I'm from, people would normally spend 15 months in a place living closely with people and just 'hanging out'. Spending time with people, writing every day. So, I've done that. I've done the 'anthropological thing'. I've lived in this town for 15 months, between 2013 and 2014. I've lived in a village on the side of the town and I've spent pretty much everyday here. I spend my days hanging out with people, eating with people, spending time with them, chatting with them. Finding out not just about social media, but about all kinds of aspects of their lives. And these people, normally in anthropology or in science we call them our participants or informants but actually, most of all, they're my friends. That's one of the really important things in our methodology. We hope that by getting close to people we understand more about their lives and they're willing to let us understand more about their lives. But also with this project we've tried to blend that anthropological research, what we call the ethnographic research, that close observation of everyday life, with lots of other research methods. So as well, in this town we've also done 120, almost, detailed questionnaires. and a large number of these long recorded interviews. [ARE YOU ON YOUR OWN OUT THERE?] Actually while normal anthropology was always a very solitary pursuit and you would go into a tribe in the jungle and be there on your own for a year and a half what's been really great about my research here is that it's been really collaborative and it's involved the help and assistance of lots of people. So in my field site I was very fortunate, at the start, to have the help of 2 research assistants from Beijing who spent the first three months with me I've also used research assistants from the local villages in the town. and I work with them and they help introduce me to people or sometimes help to explain things to me. [DO PEOPLE DO THE SAME SOMEWHERE ELSE?] Also, one of the most important parts of this fieldwork has been that it's a collaborative and a comparative thing. So while I've been doing my fieldwork here in this fieldsite my colleagues from the project have been doing the same fieldwork in Brazil, India, Trinidad, the UK, Chile, in Turkey and all around the world. This has being great because we've been keeping in contact by email regularly and also doing a monthly video call where we talk about and compare our results. So this has been a really different project and a far more collaborative one. So it's been great because when questions have come out in the field. We've been comparing what people have been saying in China to what they've been saying in Chile. That has been really useful for me and it's completely changed the way that I do anthropology and it's completely changed the way I think about how my results fit amongst everybody else's.
