About this title

Synopsis:

Increasingly, ethnographic research has been used to analyze policy, evaluate social and cultural programs, and design interventions. In this brief volume, the various uses to which qualitative data can be put are explained in simple, practical language. The authors describe ways to make research policy-relevant, how to deal with policymakers and the media, how to use ethnography to design, operate and evaluate programs, and how qualitative information can assist community organizations to create and manage change. Checklists, extended case studies, definitions, and cross-references aid the reader in understanding this important set of research tools.
