Writing Ethnographic Fieldnotes Quotes

“the task of the ethnographer is not to determine “the truth” but to reveal the multiple truths apparent in others’ lives.”
― Robert M. Emerson, Writing Ethnographic Fieldnotes

“Through participation, the field researcher sees firsthand and up close how people grapple with uncertainty and ambiguity, how meanings emerge through talk and collective action, how understandings and interpretations change over time, and how these changes shape subsequent actions.”
― Robert M. Emerson, Writing Ethnographic Fieldnotes
