dc.descriptionThe ideas for this book originated from a 2012 conference held at the University of Suffolk. What emerged from this conference was recognition that although our disciplinary backgrounds varied, there was significant value in establishing a shared platform for our ethnographic experiences, not least in the interests of mutual scholarship and reciprocal learning. Notably, and in spite of our disparate subject areas, it became clear that as ethnographers we were encountering similar challenges and epistemological anxieties. Moreover, there appeared to be mutual recognition in terms of the potential for advancing the ethnographic method in the future. In capturing the essence of this conference, this book is not intended as a ‘how to guide’, of which there are many, but rather a space to bring together and share the experiential aspects of ethnographic work. As such, this edited book presents these experiences from a wide range of disciplines including work and organisation studies, sociology, social policy, philosophy, management, health and human sciences, family studies, education, disability studies, and childhood studies. This book seeks to devolve methodological themes and practices which are established in some subject areas but not in others. These include, for example, the rise of autoethnography and the role of storytelling. Additionally, the chapters contained within interrogate and reframe long-standing ethnographic discussions including those concerning reflexivity, while exploring evolving themes such as the experiential use of technologies. This book thus demonstrates the value and versatility of ethnography as a method in a diverse range of rarely combined disciplines. In further emphasising our transdisciplinary objectives, each chapter includes a brief biographical preamble in which the author reflects on the existing character and impact of ethnographic research within their native discipline.-
