Research methods: The ethnographic interview (course content)

éthnos (Greek): folk/the people + grapho (Greek): to write. Ethnography means, literally, writing about the people. Of course, I ignore the many intricacies of the term with such an intro. In 2019, ethnography is a methodology (think: practice that involves combining multiple research methods in order to best answer a question or questions), and it is the primary practice of social scientists who are interested in better understanding humans in the present. By far the most popular methods in ethnographic research are participant observation (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Participant_observation" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">see here</a>) and unstructured interviewing (see below). <a href="https://pankonien.medium.com/research-methods-the-ethnographic-interview-course-content-909da6d74cf">Website</a>
