Overview

Book Two of the Ethnographer's Toolkit series provides the reader with an introduction to participant and non-participant observation, interviewing, and ethnographically informed survey research, including systematically administered structured interviews and questionnaires. These essential methods are the basic building blocks of data collection, providing researchers with tools to answer key questions: What's happening in this setting?; Who is engaging in what kind of activities?; and Why are they doing what they're doing? The authors describe when and how to use these basic techniques and offer numerous examples of how these methods have worked in community-based research, action research, participant action research and mixed method projects.
