About Ricky's talk
How do we research experience? As researchers is it possible to encourage participants to share thoughts and feelings as opposed to just 'answering the question'. Used to learn about different cultures, Ethnography is traditionally conducted by anthropologists living within small communities to learn first-hand about day to day life. An ethnographic interview is a form of qualitative research based on Ethnography that aims to allow for trust between the researcher and interviewee to learn the 'truth' about their experiences.
