Ethics in ethnography : a mixed methods approach / Margaret D. LeCompte and Jean J. Schensul.

Summary:

Recognizing that ethical issues are no more endemic to one research design than to another, LeCompte and Schensul open Book 6 with a short history of formal oversight for human research and address the formal ethical responsibilities incumbent upon researchers. Next, they consider how informal or "everyday" ethics affect researchers' daily interactions in the field. In recognition of the shift toward team-based field research, the authors pay special attention to ethics related to collaborative research. The book concludes with an examination of new challenges and issues ranging from new field realities to the ethics of interpreting research results. As with all books in the series, this title features case studies, checklists, key points to remember, and additional resources to consult; the result is a uniquely detailed and eminently useful introduction to the ethical conduct of ethnography. -- from back cover
