Document Summary
Ethnography is in-depth rich data, immersing yourself in a community researcher could be distant or engaged cover/overt participant. Ethics in ethnography are different than survey research. Strength for ethnography and field work: better understanding, tremendous depth, relatively inexpensive, high validity. Example: you want to study car dealerships. Car dealers take men customers more seriously than women customers. You want to study how gender difference affects how car dealers help them. Interviewing: becoming the customer, becoming one of the car dealers. Epistemology(theory of knowledge; how we know what we know) Interpretivist approach (collecting data observing people/not empirical) One of the guys: girls, gangs & gender. Semi-structured: used more in field work than ethnography: examples: First amendment (freedom of speech) gives a leeway to harassment. Interview 200 people give story ask for details. People who had come to canada to avoid. Interested how migration was a turning point in their lives.
