This panel group session examines how online ethnography can be employed in different contexts of online communities to explore young people̢????s digital literacies. Presenters explore four different interest-driven online communities for women, fans of a novel, food, and Chinese popular culture. Based on the preliminary findings, the session will explore how the presenters draw upon online ethnography as a method to explore online communities to trace a central node and collaborative reading and address social issues. As a collaborative inquiry, this session will offer valuable insights for ethnographic research online for digital literacies.
