York Anthropology alumni Lynda Mannik and Karen McGarry have published a new text with University of Toronto Press entitled “Practicing Ethnography: A Student Guide to Method and Methodology” (2017). This methods book is theoretically informed but practical in approach, and reflects the challenges and concerns of contemporary ethnography in North America. The authors emphasize an inductive, ethnographic approach to research. Each chapter offers an overview of a particular method, methodological issue, or research trend, followed by an extended ethnographic vignette—written exclusively for this volume—by contemporary anthropologists about their fieldwork experiences. These highly readable vignettes showcase how ethnography informs contemporary anthropological theory, offering a unique way to discuss major concepts, methods, and methodologies. “Try This” and “Possible Projects” sections encourage newcomers to anthropology to apply what they have learned in their own ethnographic experiences. Lynda Mannik teaches at York University and Karen McGarry at McMaster University.
