How applied
ethnographic research can be used to solve community
problems is the subject of the recently published
Ethnographer's Toolkit. Written and edited by local
anthropologist and ICR Director Jean J. Schensul
and sociologist Margaret LeCompte, the 7-volume
set is a step-by-step guide to designing and conducting
research that seeks to understand human beliefs
and behaviors from the point of view of the participants
themselves.
