Ethnography in Social Work
The starting point of the course is the experience and issues that the participants encounter during their own work in collecting material for their theses, and the importance of this to the production of analysis, results, and text.
One of the key issues discussed and tested during the course, also in relation to the participants’ own research in social work or the equivalent, is what kind of knowledge ethnographic method and writing may add to the process that other research methods do not.
