C-Urge Kick-off Event

In the beginning of October, the C-Urge doctoral candidates and supervisors convened for a five day kick-off event to launch the project. Engaging with the presentations made by 19 speakers, the DCs received excellent training in ethnographic fieldwork, novel multimodal methods, data management, theory development, action research, citizen science, and more. The invigorating kick-off week sharpened the DCs’ skills for their future projects and fostered important collaborative relationships for the project ahead.
