Ethnographic Fieldwork

Ethnographic fieldwork is a research method used by anthropologists and social scientists to understand cultures and communities by immersing themselves in the daily lives of people. Researchers often spend extended periods in the community they are studying, observing behaviors, participating in activities, and conducting interviews. This hands-on approach allows them to gather rich, detailed insights about social practices, beliefs, and interactions, providing a deeper understanding of how people think and live in their own context. The goal is to reveal the complexities of human life from the perspective of those being studied.
