[Air-L] Critical Ethnography

[David Nemer]

Thanks Peter.

Alex, thanks for your references but what I meant by critical ethnography
was the use of ethnography that attempts to break open power, oppression,
taken-for-granted 'realities’, and ideologies.  In this way, critical
ethnography goes beyond much qualitative description of culture by also
‘action-ing’ for change; by challenging false-consciousness and ideologies
exposed through investigative examination. It has a "active & action" sense
in it. It is usually seen in postcolonial science and technology studies.
But I was hoping to get references that talks specifically about this
methodology.

I apologize if I didn't specified it enough.

Thanks
