reflections on Ethnographic Work in political science
Annual Review of Political Science, 2010Co-Authors: Lisa WedeenAbstract:The objectivist truth claims traditionally pressed by most political scientists have made the use of Ethnographic methods particularly fraught in the discipline. This article explores what ethnography as a method entails. It makes distinctions between positivist and interpretivist ethnographies and highlights some of the substantive contributions ethnography has made to the study of politics. Lamenting the discipline's abandonment of a conversation with anthropology after Geertz, this review also insists on moving beyond the anthropological controversies so powerfully expressed in the edited volume Writing Culture (1986) and other texts of the 1980s and 1990s. I contend that interpretive social science does not have to forswear generalizations or causal explanations and that Ethnographic methods can be used in the service of establishing them. Rather than fleeing from abstractions, ethnographies can and should help ground them.

industrial sociology in the uk reminiscences and reflections
Sociology, 2009Co-Authors: John EldridgeAbstract:The paper offers reflections on the author’s Working experience as an industrial sociologist from the 1960s.

This is evidenced in thematic concerns, the importance of historical perspectives as well as the use of case studies and the development of Ethnographic Work. It discusses the role which industrial sociology has played in bringing issues of power, authority, control and class into sharp focus.

“Whales Tales” On the Run: Anonymizing Ethnographic Data in an Age of Openness:
Cultural Studies ↔ Critical Methodologies, 2020Co-Authors: Robert A. RhoadsAbstract:This paper juxtaposes the Ethnographic Work of Alice Goffman, as presented in her book, On the Run: Fugitive Life in an American City, with my own Work involved in developing the article, “Whales Tales, Dog Piles, and Beer Goggles: An Ethnographic Case Study of Fraternity Life.” In particular, I examine anonymization issues arising from both Works. The intent is to advance a deeper discussion of Ethnographic anonymization toward responding to critics and strengthening the Ethnographic endeavor in the field of educational research.
