Research methods
EveLINE research group uses nexus analysis as a research framework (Scollon & Scollon 2004) that draws on a variety of research approaches (e.g. ethnography, interaction analysis, qualitative and participatory research) allowing the study of phenomena as they unfold in social (inter)action in situ, but inherently bound in their historical trajectories across multiple timescales. Nexus analysis is especially well suited for researching complex phenomena, the aspects of which are often treated as separate in research designs. As nexus analysis is a fairly recently developed framework, we are interested in methodological development as well.
