Klappentext

Ethnographic research in higher education is gaining momentum. In the last 10 years, we saw a great increase in publications, and more and more researchers endorse ethnography because of its distinctive qualities and its productivity for research in higher education: Ethnography is commended for its unique approach to social practices through continuous and immediate experience in field work, and its unfragmented methodical attention to situations, interactions, and experiences. This unique approach is explored in the present book, which brings together researchers from Europe, America, and Australia, and includes current ethnographic studies on higher education, reflections on teaching ethnography, and innovative approaches in ethnographic methods. ** The editors**Dr. Clemens Wieser is Associate Professor at the Danish School of Education, Aarhus University, Denmark.Dr. Angela Pilch Ortega is Associate Professor at the Department of Education, University of Graz, Austria.
