Using Ethnographic Fieldwork and Case Studies to Guide Student Affairs Practice.

Magolda, Peter M.

Journal of College Student Development, v40 n1 p10-21 Jan-Feb 1999

Ethnographic fieldwork is advocated as two ways for student affairs educators to enhance practice. Recent fieldwork and published ethnographic texts about college students are used to illustrate three benefits: (1) access to students' experience and culture; (2) access to student and campus culture; (3) enhance practice through informed theorizing.
