Shane, the Lone Ethnographer: A Beginner's Guide to Ethnography

Shane, The Lone Ethnographer is an accessible and entertaining introduction to ethnography. Campbell Galman walks the reader through the process of doing ethnographic research, via her comic character Shane, the Lone Ethnographer, on the campus of an unnamed university. For the novice researcher about to embark on fieldwork in qualitative research methods, this is an excellent—and the only comic-book—introduction. Her text will delight and inform students who are learning ethnographic methods in anthropology, education, and other social science courses.
