This document discusses using the TV show The Wire as a case study for urban ethnography. Students are split into groups and asked to focus on a main social issue portrayed in The Wire by developing a research question. They are given limited information and asked to discuss the characters, plot, and narratives of the show as well as how it explores sociological themes related to the city of Baltimore. Professor William Julius Wilson is quoted praising how The Wire enhances understandings of urban life and inequality through its complex characters and exploration of institutions.
This document provides an overview of ethnographic methods used in anthropological research. It discusses key concepts like participant observation, field notes, interviewing techniques, life histories, photographs, experience-near and experience-distant concepts. Participant observation involves the researcher immersed in the daily lives of the people they study over an extended period of time. Field notes are critical for systematically recording observations and interviews. Conducting interviews requires linguistic and cultural competence as well as careful probing techniques. Photographs and life histories provide additional context and perspectives when studying a culture. The document also discusses reflexivity and the co-construction of knowledge between the researcher and participants.
This document provides an overview of ethnography research. It defines ethnography as describing a group or culture through observation and conversation. The main purposes of ethnography are to obtain a deep understanding of people and their culture in a natural context. Data is typically collected through interviews, observations, and documents in an unstructured way. Ethnography research aims to understand human behavior in everyday contexts rather than experimental conditions. It emphasizes naturalism, understanding, discovery, and challenges assumptions. The document also outlines some advantages and disadvantages of ethnography as well as important ethical considerations around informed consent, privacy, and harm.

Specifically, it defines ethnography as the systematic study and documentation of human activities through immersion and observation without prior interpretation. It outlines the typical steps of an ethnographic study: preparation, field study, analysis, and reporting. Key aspects covered include collecting qualitative data through techniques like interviews, observation, and artifacts. The document also discusses principles of ethnography like holism and studying people in their natural environments. Examples of ethnography uses and some advantages and disadvantages are provided.
Ethnography is a method of research involving the immersive observation of and engagement with a particular culture over an extended period of time. Key skills of ethnography include observing cultural behaviors and practices as well as interviewing members of the culture to understand perspectives. There are ethical considerations around ensuring informed consent and privacy. Examples of famous ethnographies provide insight into specific cultures like an urban neighborhood in Toronto or the lives of African American women. Corporations have also utilized ethnography to better understand customer needs through case studies involving health companies and technology firms.

This document provides an overview of ethnography and visual anthropology. It defines ethnography as the systematic study and documentation of human activities through immersion in the environment being studied and observation. Key features of ethnography include becoming embroiled in the setting, having a bottom-up perspective, being present physically in the field, and acknowledging the researcher's own reflexivity. Ethnography involves skills like observation and interviewing to understand people's perspectives. It discusses ethics, types of field research, and provides guidance on how to conduct ethnographic fieldwork and analysis.
This document provides an overview of ethnography as a research method. It discusses key aspects of ethnography including:
- Ethnography involves observing cultural practices, behaviors, and social norms through an unfiltered view of reality.
- Key aspects of ethnography include being situation-based, observing what people say versus what they do, and using visual cues and observational techniques. It also emphasizes empathy, trained researchers, and extensive analysis.
- The document cautions against labeling other research methods as "ethnographic" and outlines how ethnography can provide insights to inform decisions around areas like behavior change, innovation, and segmentation.
Anthropology is the study of humankind, including where humans come from, what differentiates them from animals and each other, and the human condition. Ethnography is a key part of anthropology and involves the systematic study and recording of human cultures through methods like interviews, observation, and immersive fieldwork to understand the world from participants' perspectives. Current ethnographic principles emphasize understanding biases, cultural fluidity, and participants' agency.
This document provides an overview of ethnography and its application in service design from the perspective of Anna Haverinen, a design anthropologist. It defines ethnography as "writing of the people" derived from anthropological study involving in-depth interviews and observations of people in their natural environments. Ethnography is described as a holistic and context-rich method for interpreting culture that provides insights below the surface through thick description and interpretation. The document cautions that not all qualitative research labeled as ethnography meets the standards of the method, and discusses how ethnography can be applied to inform projects in domains like product design, branding, and digital services.

Anthropology seeks to answer important questions about human origins, development, and culture through scientific study. It encompasses two main types: physical anthropology, which studies human evolution and biology by examining fossils and skeletal remains; and cultural anthropology, which seeks to understand and compare human cultures through methods like participant observation, archaeology, and cross-cultural comparison. Studying anthropology can help us better understand human behavior and development, provide insight into other cultures, and promote tolerance between groups.

Anthropology is the study of human societies and cultures, both past and present. The document outlines the major areas of anthropology, including the meaning and origins of anthropology; areas of interest such as language, culture, biology and society; divisions including socio-cultural, physical, archaeological, and linguistic anthropology; and the importance of anthropology in daily life. Anthropologists take a holistic approach to understand human experiences through techniques like ethnography, participant observation, archaeology, and comparisons with other species.
The document summarizes the career path and work of an anthropologist who founded a research consultancy applying anthropological methods to business problems. It describes some of the consultancy's projects in media, technology and organizations. It argues that anthropology is moving beyond academic and NGO settings into "unbound" applications in commercial and other sectors, using ethnography to provide novel insights and solutions for clients.
Ethnographic Writing And Relationships With Research SubjectsAimee Brown
The document discusses three ethnographies published at different times and compares their approaches. It explains that ethnography has become a key research strategy in the humanities, involving direct observation and participation in a culture over an extended period of time. The core of anthropological training for ethnographic research involves comparative analysis of ethnographies from around the world. This helps ethnographers understand the unique qualities and limitations of different studies based on their goals and social contexts.
This document discusses feminist anthropology and the anthropology of women. It defines feminist anthropology as seeking to transform anthropological research and knowledge production using feminist perspectives. Feminist anthropology challenges essentialist feminist theories developed in Western contexts. The anthropology of women aimed to include women as distinct cultural actors rather than erasing them. It critiques early male anthropologists for rarely having access to women and relying on stories told by men. Both feminist anthropology and the anthropology of women emerged as critiques of one-sided male descriptions that presented male experiences as universal.
Ethnography involves learning from people by finding what makes them content, expressing interest in what's important to them, and letting them teach their perspective. It can involve overt observation where participants know they're studied, or covert observation which risks deception. Ethnographic research access can be challenging and disadvantages include only experiencing one group's perspective, difficulties analyzing notes, and high costs. However, ethnography provides advantages like analyzing cultures deeply through observing what people really do versus what they say.
The document discusses the anthropological concept of paradigm shift through the example of Franz Boas' work in anthropology. It explains how Boas relied on empirical data rather than evolutionary viewpoints, collecting facts from various cultures. This challenged the existing paradigm and established Boas' approach as the new dominant force in anthropology, known as the four-field approach. The document argues this was a paradigm shift, as Boas stepped outside the existing bounds and his data collection provided anomalies that could not be explained by the current viewpoint, leading to a crisis and final emergence of his new anthropological theory.
This document provides an overview of cultural anthropology as a discipline. It discusses the early development of anthropology in Europe and how perspectives have shifted from modernism to post-modernism. Key terms used in cultural anthropology are defined, such as participant observation, ethnography, and emic and etic analysis. An example is given of how different perspectives might analyze the cause of a disease among the Fore people of New Guinea. The importance of cultural relativism is also discussed.

“I wouldn’t have thought of doing it that way had I not been
involved with this work.”
“I thought we worked on the ground, but this has shown me that we really don’t …
the approach here has challenged our assumptions about what’s needed.”
“I’ve never done anything like this before - and from now on I’ll do things differently.”
”This is more thinking than I've done in the last 6 months.quot;
