Description
Shane is at it again! Follow our intrepid heroine as she learns what makes ethnography tick against the backdrop of the Great American West complete with cowboy hats, cattle stampedes, and cacti.
Shane, The Lone Ethnographer is an entertaining, step-by-step introduction to ethnographic research. Join graduate student Shane as she embarks on her first research project and learns the definition of ethnography, how to come up with her research question, and how to design her study. Along the way, Shane is joined by a talking armadillo, ghosts of ethnographers past, and her good friend Sanjay, who take turns teaching her different theoretical frameworks, how to conduct ethical research, and how to write ethnographically.
This is the perfect – and only – comic book introduction for the novice researcher.
