Lecture 10 - Ethnography

Pensum this week is ch. 9 Ethnography. Recommended additional literature we will provide you with after the ~1h pre-recorded lecture, so you can use 1/2 h for reading. You might use what you read for discussions and exemplifications of ethnographic research in the corresponding seminars.
