This document discusses key concepts in social research methods including fieldwork, triangulation, intersubjectivity, ethics, and free prior informed consent (FPIC). Fieldwork involves direct observation and interaction with subjects to understand their experiences. Triangulation uses multiple sources and methods to validate findings. Intersubjectivity recognizes shared understandings between subjects due to common experiences. Ethics and FPIC are important to respectfully conduct research with people.
