Overview

Uxeda provides a rigorously curated selection of Social Science Data Collection Resources. Physical tools - Pens, notebooks, clipboards, voice-recorders, microphones, travel gear, cameras, accessories, software, EDC gizmos - all specifically chosen based on our own experience doing rigorous fieldwork around the world under all sorts of mundane and/or absurd conditions. Product review videos - What makes a resource more or less suitable for the work we do? We use our product review videos to compare tools, discuss their utility, and figure out what makes them good (or bad) for our professional needs. Podcasts - The idea of “social science” spans a multitude of fields. Some of our methodology is nearly universal, while other techniques are weirdly sector-specific. Our podcast features conversations with colleagues working in a variety of disciplines and locations. What can we learn from each other, and why do we do the things we do? Blogs - We write about what matters to us. Not just data collection tools and methodology, but also about the things that go with that: working in challenging conditions, team dynamics, ethics, and so much more. Photos - In the course of our fieldwork we’ve taken thousands of photographs. We’re not professional photographers, but there’s a few good ones in there, so we’re going to share some of them here. Clothing - Things that you can wear to impress your other social scientist friends.
