    This document provides an overview of ethnography and considerations for conducting ethnographic research. It defines ethnography as the study of a group of people and their culture, which can include factors such as language, traditions, food, music, religions, literature, economics, and school of thoughts. When planning ethnographic research, it notes the importance of asking a question that is neither too wide nor too narrow in scope, on a topic the researcher is interested in and that people will be willing to contribute their experiences to. It advises approaching the research from multiple angles and perspectives, even those contradicting one's thesis, and using various methods like social media, announcements and networking to engage participants and collect anonymous data.

    ○ Too wide/too narrow a question
    ○ Interest - is this something that I’m interested in looking into?
    ○ Engagement - is this something that people will take time out of their day to
    contribute to?
    Assignment:
    ● Angles → consider all points of view even if they contradict my thesis, this makes the argument
    richer and diversifies the material
    ● Use social media, student announcements, and networking → offer a reward/access to the data I
    collect anonymously
    ○ Purpose and audience
    ●
