Using Ethnographic Data: Interventions, Public Programming, and Public Policy 0-7619-8972-2 (paperback) The Ethnographer's Toolkit begins with an overview volume that defines the ethnographic enterprise, links research strategies to theoretical paradigms, and outlines the ways in which an ethnographic study can be designed Using practical, straight-forward language, the authors of this volume then introduce readers to the ethnographic process, identifying issues, choices, and techniques covered in greater depth in other kit volumes, including chapters on the personal qualities of a good researcher and on research ethics. As a guide to the contents of the Toolkit, or as a standalone introduction to ethnography, this volume will be extremely valuable to all novice ethnographers. ABOUT THIS VOLUMEEssential Ethnographic Methods provides the reader with an introduction to participant and non-participant observation, interviewing and ethnographically-informed survey research, including structured interviews and questionnaires. These are the basic building blocks of ethnographic data collecting, providing researchers with answers to the key ethnographic questions:What's happening in this setting?Who is engaging in what kind of activities with whom?What do they think they're doing?The authors describe when and how to use these basic techniques and offer numerous examples of how these methods work in practice.ISBN 0-7619-9144-1 ABOUT THIS VOLUMEIn addition to the traditional use of participant observation, ethnographic researchers have developed a variety of other methods to obtain information.Visual anthropology has had a long tradition of audio, film and still photographs, now supplemented with video and computer multimedia techniques. Focused group interviews are now regularly used by ethnographers.Elicitation techniques - such as triads, pile sorts and freelists - were developed by cognitive anthropologists as a systematic way of understanding the cultural categories defined by members of a group. In this brief volume, these three sets of methods are explained in simple, practical language.ISBN 0-7619-9129-8 (paperback) ABOUT THIS VOLUMEWhether it is to understand the networks of individuals, the physical makeup of a household or community, or to develop strategies for finding difficult-to-reach populations such as the homeless or drug addicted, applied ethnographers increasingly need to understand spatial methods. In this brief volume, the techniques of network analysis, mapping, and finding hidden populations are explained in simple, practical language.The authors describe when and how to use these techniques and offer numerous examples of how the methods have worked in practice.ISBN 0-7619-9112-3 (paperback) ABOUT THIS VOLUMEThis Toolkit volume describes methods for transforming piles of fieldnotes, observations, audio and videotapes, questionnaires, surveys, documents, maps and other kinds of data into rich resence results that help people understand their world and that facilitate problem solving. Addressing both narrative (qualitative) as well as enumerated (quantitative) data, this slim volume discusses methods for organizing, retrieving, rendering manageable, and interpreting materials collected in an ethnographic project. Included are extensive discussions on inductive and deductive analysis, creating codebooks, identifying patterns, managing data, and developing interpretations.ISBN 0-7619-8974-9 ABOUT THIS VOLUMEBook 6 of the Ethnographer's Toolkit discusses the special requirements ethnographic research imposes on its practitioners. The authors first describe how the work of the ethnographer is inextricably tied to type of person the ethnographer is, the particular social and context of the research site, andthe roles and relationships that ethnographer establishes in the field. The book then examines how ethnographers assemble research teams and establish action partnerships with individuals and institutions in the research setting to solve problems. The book also discusses ethical and legal issues of doing applied ethnography.ISBN 0-7619-8973-0 ABOUT THIS VOLUMEIncreasingly, ethnographic research has been used to analyze policy, evaluate social and cultural programs, and design interventions. In this brief volume, the various uses to which ethnographic data can be put are explained in simple, practical language. The authors describe ways to make ethnographic research policy-relevant, how to deal with policy makers and the media, how to use ethnography to design, operate and evaluate programs, and how ethnographic information can assist the cultural and social institutions of the community. The authors offer numerous examples of how these methods have worked in practice.ISBN 0-7619-8972-2 ORDER BEFORE 2 PM CENTRAL - SAME DAY SHIPPINGEB2410
