"This book provides in-depth coverage on doing different forms of ethnographic research within the construction industry. These ethnographic forms and 'intensities', include auto-ethnography, ethnographic-action research, digital ethnography, mixed methods that include ethnography, and rapid and long-term ethnographies. The chapters discuss these approaches, present exemplary cases of ethnographic research within the field, explain the challenges that researchers face in dynamic construction settings, and outline the steps to take towards robust research. It will be of great benefit for students and academics looking to undertake ethnographic research in all areas of the built environment"--
This book calls for those interested in robust construction research to embrace ethnography – in all its forms, including rapid ethnographies, ethnographic-action research, autoethnography, as well as longer-term ethnographies.
The diversification of ethnographic approaches, as well as ethnographers, will lead to rich insights that can advance the industry theoretically and practically. We share experiences, key considerations and recommendations from leading construction ethnographic researchers from around the world to provide discussion, reflection and understanding into doing ethnography in the construction industry.
This book is aimed at academics, students, consultants, editors, reviewers, policymakers, funders and others interested in robust research in the construction industry and built environment but will also be useful for those undertaking research within organisations in other industries.
