Description and Table of Contents
Description
'Written in a clear, accessible style, this inspirational book is both a practical guide and a survey of the different ways of doing ethnography. Drawing on wide-ranging examples and using classic and contemporary ethnographies, the authors demonstrate the importance of developing an ethnographic sensibility. A most valuable resource' - Cris Shore, University of Auckland
Ethnography in Education is an accessible guidebook to the different approaches taken by ethnographers studying education. Drawing on their own experience of teaching and using these methods, the authors help you cultivate an 'ethnographic imagination' in your own research and writing.
With extended examples of ethnographic analysis, the book will introduce you to:
- ethnographic 'classics'
- the best existing textbooks
- debates about new approaches and innovations.
This book is ideal for postgraduate students in Education and related disciplines seeking to use an ethnographic approach in their Masters and Doctoral theses.
David Mills is a University Lecturer in Education, University of Oxford.
Missy Morton is Associate Professor and Head of School of Educational Studies and Leadership, College of Education, University of Canterbury
