Ethics in Ethnography - A Mixed Methods Approach

Informationen zum Autor By Margaret D. LeCompte and Jean J. Schensul Klappentext This is Book 6 of 7 in the Ethnographer's Toolkit, Second Edition.Ethics in Ethnography explores the burgeoning field of research ethics and addresses how both formal and informal ethical considerations underpin good ethnographic research.Coming from the position that no particular research design is more or less prone to generate ethical issues, LeCompte and Schensul open this volume with a short history of formal oversight for human research and address the formal ethical responsibilities incumbent upon researchers. Next, they consider how informal or "everyday" ethics affect researchers' daily interactions in the field. In recognition of the shift toward team-based field research, the authors pay special attention to ethics related to collaborative research. The book concludes with an examination of new challenges and issues ranging from new field realities to the ethics of interpreting research results. As with all books in the series, this title features case studies, checklists, key points to remember, and additional resources to consult; the result is a uniquely detailed and eminently useful introduction to the ethical conduct of ethnography.Other books in the set:Book 1:Designing and Conducting Ethnographic Research: An Introduction, Second Editionby Margaret D.
