2. An ethnographic researcher plans to study organizations and how they promote or suppress individual effort. What type of ethnography will the researcher select? a. Classical ethnography b. Systematic ethnography c. Interpretive ethnography d. Critical ethnography ANS: B Four schools of thought within ethnography have emerged from different philosophical perspectives and these include classical, systematic, interpretive, and critical ethnography. Classical ethnography seeks to provide a comprehensive holistic description of a culture. In contrast, systematic ethnography explores and describes the structures of the culture with an increased focus on groups, patterns of social interaction, organizations, and institutions. Interpretive ethnography has as its goal understanding the values and thinking that result in the behaviors and symbols of the people being studied. Critical ethnography has a political purpose of relieving oppression and empowering a group of people to take action on their own behalf. It is not ethnography’s focus to construct theories.
