The Ethnographer's Toolkit series is designed with you, the novice fieldworker, in mind. In a series of seven brief books, the editors
and authors of the Toolkit take you through the multiple, complex steps of doing ethnographic research in simple, reader-friendly
language. Case studies, checklists, key points to remember, and additional resources to consult are all included to help the reader
fully understand the ethnographic process. Avoiding a step-by-step formula approach, the authors are able to explain the
complicated tasks and relationships that occur in the field in clear, helpful ways. Research designs, data collection techniques,
analytical strategies, research collaborations, and an array of uses for ethnographic work in policy, programming, and practice, are
described in the volumes. The Toolkit is the perfect starting point for professionals in diverse professional fields in social welfare,
education, health, economic development, and the arts, as well as for advanced students and experienced researchers unfamiliar
with the demands of conducting good ethnography.
