undergraduate students in social sciences and other fields of study that use
qualitative approaches (such as education, communication, cultural studies,
health, social work, human ecology, development studies, and consumer behavior,
among others), applied social scientists, professionals, and researchers who
have an interest in learning more about ethnographic methods and their
applications.</span><span></span></p>
