Small-scale ethnographic research project.

undertake a qualitative study using ethnographic techniques; • develop a preliminary analysis of your data; • discuss the methodological issues that arise in selecting particular research methods and in undertaking qualitative research. To successfully accomplish the coursework, you will: • identify a setting in which to undertake your research; • undertake fieldwork in that setting; that is undertake detailed observation • where relevant and appropriate gather supplementary data for example take • photographs, recordings, and/or informal interviews • make det​‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍​ailed field notes about the setting and the activities you observe; • identify two or three key themes or issues; • organise your observations or findings with respect to these themes or issues; • support the observations or findings with evidence from your field notes (and where • other data you have collected); • discuss the implications of your findings for future research and practice. We do not wish to restrict the kinds of activity you may study. Therefore, you can choose to observe any organisation or social setting. This may be one with which you are familiar or​‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍​ one you are interested in.
