Methods for the Ethnography of Communication is a guide to conducting ethnographic research in classroom and community settings that introduces students to the field of ethnography of communication and takes them through the recursive and nonlinear cycle of ethnographic research.

This brand-new edition includes the most up-to-date research, with the authors introducing the innovative CULTURES framework to provide a helpful structure for moving through the complex process of collecting and analyzing ethnographic data and address the larger 'how-to' questions that students struggle with during ethnographic research. Exercises and activities help students make the connection between communicative events, acts, and situations and ways of studying them ethnographically.

Integrating a primary focus on language in use within an ethnographic framework makes this book an invaluable core text for courses on ethnography of communication and related areas in a variety of disciplines.
