Warp and Weft - Navigating Fieldwork and COVID-19 with Mathilde Lind

In this episode, you’ll hear from Folklore PhD Candidate Mathilde Lind checking in from her field site in Estonia. We cover the normal trials and tribulations of fieldwork in addition to the abnormal tribulation of COVID-19. The discussion not only addresses how Mathilde has adapted her research amidst COVID-19 conditions but also the journey a project takes from proposal to fieldwork. Mathilde’s unique set of skills and knowledge when it comes to handicrafts will be of particular interest to students considering a practice-based approach to research.
