Methods
Participant observation
-
Actively participates while observing to gain insights into a culture. Often for long periods of time.
-
Interviews
Focus groups
Kind of a type of interview, but can be counted as a separate method in your IAs.
-
Informal or formal
-
Formal
-
Semi structured
More flexible than structured. Can ask questions or keep on a topic but gives more freedom for participants to steer the conversation.
Collaborative methods
ALL ethnography is, to some extent (maybe even to a large extent) collaborative. But some works take this to another level, where "participants" are involved in everything -- from research design to writing.
Creative methods
People create things -- visuals, poems, songs, whatever, that will be used to help the anthropologist to learn things about them.
