Ethnography in Social Science Practice explores ethnography's
increasing use across the social sciences, beyond its traditional
bases in social anthropology and sociology. It explores the
disciplinary roots of ethnographic research within social
anthropology, and contextualizes it within both field and
disciplinary settings.
The book is of two parts: Part one places ethnography as a
methodology in its historical, ethical and disciplinary context,
and also discusses the increasing popularity of ethnography across
the social sciences. Part two explores the stages of ethnographic
research via a selection of multidisciplinary case studies. A
number of key questions are explored:
- What exactly is ethnographic research and what makes it
different from other qualitative approaches?
- Why did ethnography emerge within one social science discipline
and not others?
- Why did its adoption across the social sciences prove
problematic?
- What are the methodological advantages and disadvantages of
doing ethnographic research?
- Why are ethnographers so concerned by issues of ethics,
politics, representation and power?
- What does ethnography look like within different social science
disciplines?
The book is aimed at social science students at both
undergraduate and postgraduate level and each chapter has pedagogic
features, including reflective activities and suggested further
readings for students.
