Description
Fieldwork explores the practical and theoretical aspects of collecting data in social sciences and humanities. Bruce Jackson examines how fieldworkers define their role, interact with others, and record events for later use.
This comprehensive treatment offers valuable insights into folklore fieldwork as well as other areas of study, including anthropology, sociology, and social work. The author shares his own experiences while documenting Texas's death row in an appendix.
