PDF-[DOWNLOAD]-Approaches to Ethnography: Analysis and Representation in Participant Observation

No ethnographer can record and analyze everything that she encounters in the field We must make choices about what to look at and how to look at it which means privileging some aspects of social life while bracketing others Approaches to Ethnography enumerates the key analyticstrategieswhich Jerolmack and Khan call approachesthat ethnographers deploy to tame the buzzing confusion of the social world The book identifies eight approaches that typify ethnography which it groups and compares along four axes 1 Micro organizational and macro 2 people and places andmechanisms 3 dispositions and situations and 4 reflexivity Each approach it is shown enables the illumination of a distinct dimension of the social worldEvery chapter is written by a seasoned ethnographer who enumerates one of the approaches and reflects on how that approach shapes their field site selection observations and analysis Taken as a whole the chapters show how these approaches which operate more like sensitizing devices thantheoretical mandates can play a greater role in guiding the kinds of questions that get asked and answered in the field than whether one adopts an inductive or deductive stance toward theory Engaging accessible and often inspiring Approaches to Ethnography offers a practical and novel way toteach evaluate and conceptualize ethnographic research. A large body of scientific literature documenting this disparity exists and we can all likely summon examples from our own lives Given the frequency of this very human inconsistency observation can be a powerful check against what people report abou An information session.

Ethnography is an increasingly important research method in the private sector, yet ethnographic literature continues to focus on an academic audience. Sam Ladner fills the gap by advancing rigorous ethnographic practice that is tailored to corporate settings where colleagues are not steeped in social theory, research time lines may be days rather than months or years, and research sponsors expect actionable outcomes and recommendations. Ladner provides step-by-step guidance at every turn--covering core methods, research design, using the latest mobile and digital technologies, project and client management, ethics, reporting, and translating your findings into business strategies. This book is the perfect resource for private-sector researchers, designers, and managers seeking robust ethnographic tools or academic researchers hoping to conduct research in corporate settings. More information on the book is available at http://www.practicalethnography.com/. A down-to-earth, practical guide for interview and participant observation and analysis. In-depth interviews and close observation are essential to the work of social scientists, but inserting one’s researcher-self into the lives of others can be daunting, especially early on.  Esteemed sociologist Annette Lareau is here to help. Lareau’s clear, insightful, and personal guide is not your average methods text. It promises to reduce researcher anxiety while illuminating the best methods for first-rate research practice.   As the title of this book suggests, Lareau considers listening to be the core element of interviewing and observation. A researcher must listen to people as she collects data, listen to feedback as she describes what she is learning, listen to the findings of others as they delve into the existing literature on topics, and listen to herself in order to sift and prioritize some aspects of the study over others. By listening in these different ways, researchers will discover connections, reconsider assumptions, catch mistakes, develop and assess new ideas, weigh priorities, ponder new directions, and undertake numerous adjustments—all of which will make their contributions clearer and more valuable.   Accessibly written and full of practical, easy-to-follow guidance, this book will help both novice and experienced researchers to do their very best work. Qualitative research is an inherently uncertain project, but with Lareau’s help, you can alleviate anxiety and focus on success.
