Being Ethnographic

A Guide to the Theory and Practice of Ethnography

Being Ethnographic is a fundamental introductory guidebook to process and utilization of doing fieldwork within real-world settings. It explores our understanding of identities, the future of ethnography and the advancing role of technology in a global, networked society.

This fully updated third edition includes: 

• Discussions on technology and multimodality as hands-on tools for the field
• Helpful insights into making thoughtful choices around a research design 
• Aid in engaging ethically and effectively within the field 
• Lasting tips for finalising and conducting research

Raymond Madden provides invaluable guidance for applying fundamental ethnographic principles within the field and gives students and researchers everything they need to walk a mile in someone else's shoes.
