Using ethnographic data : interventions, public programming and public policy / [edited by] Jean J. Schensul [and others].

Schensul, Jean J. (Added Author).

Summary:

"In this brief volume, the various uses to which ethnographic data can be put are explained in simple practical language. The authors describe ways to make ethnographic research policy-relevant, how to deal with policy makers and the media, how to use ethnography to design operate and evaluate programs, and how ethnographic information can assist the cultural and social institutions of the community. The authors offer numerous examples of how these methods have worked in practice."--BOOK JACKET.
