ethnographic writing

Ethnographic writing is a way of describing and understanding a culture or community by immersing oneself in their daily life and observing their behaviors, beliefs, and practices. It involves deep, detailed fieldwork where the researcher collects information through notes, interviews, and participation. The goal is to present an authentic, nuanced portrayal of people's experiences and social patterns, allowing readers to gain insight into how a particular group lives and interacts. Essentially, it’s a detailed storytelling of a community's world, based on direct experience and careful observation.
