Tim Grose, professor of China Studies with expertise in ethnicity, ethnic policy in China and minority education, is our guest for this episode dedicated to online ethnography of the Uyghur region. Tim shares his experience in collecting and analyzing data from Chinese blogs and social media, which he considers as ethnographic texts. He also shares his questions about ethics and the reliability of sources collected online, highlighting the importance of triangulating sources and the value of remote methodologies combined with on-site research.

Remote ChayWelcome to the Remote Chay podcast! Here we invite experts to talk with us about two overlapping themes. First, how do we research areas of the globe with extremely limited accessibility due to surveillance and state restrictions? We have developed a methodological approach called “remote ethnography” which we invite our guests to discuss, supplement and expand. Second, what can we say about what is happening in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region? This is one of these regions that is notoriously difficult to research – both epistemologically and ethically. All of our guests provide answers to one of these two questions, many to both. Remote Chay is an ongoing conversation and we invite all of our listeners to participate in it – comment, reach out, share and discuss. We look forward to the exchange!
