“…However, we know little about the dynamic, processes and outcomes in utilizing remote interviewing to unpack the older migrant's digital practices during a pandemic. In this regard, our work complements scholarly works underlining possibilities of data collection from afar, mediated by a range of digital platforms such as Zoom, a video communication online platform (Howlett, 2021; Watson and Lupton, 2022; Watson et al, 2021). Nevertheless, our study underlines remote fieldwork as a collection of field events by paying close attention to the influences of older migrants’ differing digital access, capacities and social relations.…”

“…Among other online platforms, Zoom has been used to engage with participants at a distance (Howlett, 2021). Observing participants also shifted to asynchronous online engagements, such as tracking their activities and movements on social media platforms (Watson et al, 2021).…”

“…Drawing on such earlier work, studies conducted during the Covid-19 pandemic showed that it was possible to collect data remotely to understand how individuals navigate their personal and social worlds despite the lockdowns and travel bans (Watson and Lupton, 2022; Watson et al, 2021). Yet in the two approaches – in-person and remote research – the kind of data collected is not necessarily always the same; rather, we argue that the process of including digital technologies is not simply about transferring online the same methods that ethnographers use in-person.…”

“…Importantly, it takes into account how social relations and kinship mediate digital practices (Hjorth, 2022; Hjorth et al, 2020). To date, few studies have specifically applied the socio material approach in examining the outcomes of conducting remote and mediated data collection (see Watson and Lupton, 2022; Watson et al, 2021).…”

Researching (im)mobile lives during a lockdown: Reconceptualizing remote interviews as field events

This article foregrounds the benefits and challenges of deploying remote interviews to investigate the digital practices of older adults from Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) backgrounds during a series of stay-at-home orders in in 2020 and 2021 in Victoria, Australia. By critically examining the employment of technologically mediated data collection (via video and phone call), we reconceptualize remote fieldwork as a collection of ethnographically significant field events. We draw on the socio material approach to map the impact of human–digital assemblage on the processes, possibilities and limits of collecting data remotely. The study reveals the ways participants' differing digital access, competencies, and social relations engender and undermine methodological interventions. Indeed, it offers a nuanced perspective on deploying remote fieldwork especially among older migrants in an increasingly digital world.

“…She articulates the need to unpack why people do not migrate elsewhere but stay where they are currently located, as informed by an individual's social network, reliance on movements of others, and pre-existing cultural and socio-economic state. Indeed, Schewel’s (2019) contention can be mapped across several studies that have highlighted the immobility of social actors as shaped by social, economic and political structures (Carling, 2002; Mata-Codesal, 2015; Schewel and Fransen, 2022; Zharkevich, 2019).…”

Cultures of (im)mobile entanglements

What does the increased reliance on digital communication technologies by migrants, refugees, asylum seekers, migrant communities, governments and researchers reveal about the benefits, limits and politics of everyday mobile and immobile experiences during the pandemic? This introduction to the special issue on cultures of (im)mobile entanglements addresses this inquiry, alongside ten articles covering themes of governance and surveillance, agency and negotiated subjectivities, translocal and transnational solidarity, as well as doing research in pandemic times. Critically engaging with both mobility and immobility in the intersecting field of mobilities and migration research, the special issue centres a multidimensional and multi-scalar perspective on the deep interlinking of various modes of mobilities and stasis in and beyond spatial and temporal conditions mediated by politically and culturally structured digitalization. It endeavours to create a vantage point to critically examine the mobility–immobility continuum as informed by power relations, hierarchies and inequalities in a networked and global society.

O conhecimento e o desenvolvimento de habilidades relacionadas à abordagem de gênero na formação médica são fundamentais para o exercício do cuidado integral. Enfocamos o ensino dos temas gênero e sexualidade na graduação de um curso de Medicina sob a perspectiva docente. A pesquisa de natureza qualitativa utilizou a entrevista semiestruturada para construção dos dados empíricos. Em 2022, foram realizadas 16 entrevistas com responsáveis por disciplinas/unidades curriculares de diversas especialidades médicas de um curso de graduação em Medicina no estado de São Paulo. Apesar do reconhecimento da importância na formação, vigora ainda uma abordagem biomédica e/ou patológica das temáticas de gênero e sexualidade no currículo. Como dificuldades, destaca-se o reconhecimento da questão geracional pela falta de habilidade para lidar com os temas e a pouca interação entre especialidades médicas.
