Projects in Ethnographic Research

Designed to give students a taste of what it is like to actually do ethnographic research, this brief manual offers a related set of three enriching yet manageable research projects with clear, workable instructions and guidelines. Through them, Professor Angrosino demonstrates for students at all levels that ethnography is an exciting and challenging form of social research. This solid, encouraging, and readable guide provides the basic format so that students can learn the fundamental ethnographic data collection techniques of observation, interviewing, and analyzing archives while conducting their own mini-projects in local settings. Projects in Ethnographic Research also includes many well-chosen, concrete, and illuminating examples drawn from the research of the author's own students and from the published works of other ethnographers.
