Meanings
plural ethnographers
- One who practices ethnography.
First, some ethnographers would argue that reconceptualizing groupness is necessary to better understand sharedness as a quality of group communication.
2002, Lawrence R. Frey, New Directions in Group Communication1 more example
The second stage in the process by which African cultural realities are often mistransformed through mistranslation by ethnographers is associated with the urgent demand for 'theories' to assist the ethnographer in organising his field data and in presenting the conclusions derived from the data.
2012, Helen Lauer, Kofi Anyidoho, Reclaiming the Human Sciences and Humanities Through African Perspectives, page 87
