Ethnography in Social Science Practice: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Ethnography in Social Science Practice" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
Ethnography in Social Science Practice explores ethnographys increasing use across the social sciences, beyond its traditional bases in social anthropology and sociology. It explores the disciplinary roots of ethnographic research within social anthropology, and contextualizes it within both field and disciplinary settings.The book is of two parts: Part one places ethnography as a methodology in its historical, ethical and disciplinary context, and also discusses the increasing popularity of ethnography across the social sciences. Part two explores the stages of ethnographic research via a selection of multidisciplinary case studies. A number of key questions are explored:What exactly is ethnographic research and what makes it different from other qualitative approaches? Why did ethnography emerge within one social science discipline and not others? Why did its adoption across the social sciences prove problematic? What are the methodological advantages and disadvantages of doing ethnographic research? Why are ethnographers so concerned by issues of ethics, politics, representation and power? What does ethnography look like within different social science disciplines? The book is aimed at social science students at both undergraduate and postgraduate level and each chapter has pedagogic features, including reflective activities and suggested further readings for students.

John E. Goldring is a lecturer in sociology at the Manchester Metropolitan University. He is an ethnographer and has spent much of his research career exploring gay mens relationships with each other, their families and friends and their health and well-being. His experience of being a gay married man has encouraged him to consider alternative gay identities and to attempt to give voice to those who could be considered on the margins of the gay community. His research has taken a late-modern perspective to explore the changing social and legal climate that gay men have faced since the decriminalization of homosexuality in 1967.
Anna Graham is currently a lecturer in education at Liverpool Hope University. She trained as a primary school teacher at Homerton College, Cambridge and has been a practitioner and researcher since 1995. She completed her MPhil degree at Queens College, Cambridge and is currently completing her PhD. Her research examines the implications of poverty and social exclusion for childrens primary schooling.

She continues to provide consultancy to the national Rape Crisis organization and in 2008 co-authored Rape Crisis: Responding to Sexual Violence.
Rosemary Kilpatrick prior to retirement was professor of childhood and youth studies at Liverpool Hope University and previously held the position of Director of the Institute of Child Care Research at Queens University, Belfast. She has extensive professional experience as a forensic psychologist working with children and young people in the education, care and justice systems.
