Inclusive Ethnography offers a broad range of practical and provocative reflections on contemporary ethnography. The book encourages students and established ethnographers to consider the many challenges ethnographic research can entail, to learn from the accounts it presents, and to develop responsive and ethical approaches in their own practices. It is an essential resource -- Dr Christopher Bunn A strength of ethnographic method is its affordance for capturing social phenomena in a human way; in a way that recording devices alone simply cannot. Inclusive Ethnography brings this humanity into focus, celebrating diversity and difference by demonstrating the human contingencies through which field relations and data representation are handled. Each chapter imparts practical knowledge through powerful personal accounts, offering a timely guide for (and from) traditionally overlooked researchers and research. -- Dr Jonathan Ablitt Inclusive Ethnography shares lessons learnt from the ethnographic field from a diverse range of contributors. It offers a refreshingly honest, yet academically rigorous, account of methodological, ethical and substantive issues encountered in conducing ethnographic work. Great for beginners and experts alike! -- Anna Galazka
