Description
"Doing Ethnography is as clearly written and engaging as the title suggests. Gullion and Harper draw on their own experiences, coupled with classic and contemporary ethnographic works, to explicate the complicated nature and process of engaging in ethnographic research. They encourage readers to contemplate and practice core concepts and activities important to doing ethnographic inquiry. As passionate ethnographers themselves, these authors don't merely write about ethnography, they take novices and experienced ethnographers into new ways of crafting their research with people, cultures, and communities."--Barbara Dennis, PhD, Professor of Qualitative and Quantitative Research Methodology, Indiana University-
