ethnographic method

The ethnographic method is a research approach used mainly in anthropology and social sciences to understand how people live, behave, and interact within their cultural or social contexts. Researchers immerse themselves in the community they study, often living among participants for extended periods, observing daily activities, and conducting interviews. This approach allows them to gather detailed, nuanced insights into people's beliefs, customs, and social dynamics from an insider’s perspective. The goal is to develop a comprehensive understanding of a group's way of life from their own point of view.
