Ethnographers: how many ethnographies do you foresee undertaking throughout your career? Context: Ashley Mears is on her third (Pricing Beauty and Very Important People). I think Forrest D. Stuart is also on his third (Down Out and Ubder Arrest, Ballad of the Bullet).

“Marginal People in Deviant Places: Ethnography, Difference, and the Challenge to Scientific Racism” https://t.co/7q9kHazEFO Haven't read it yet, but it looks incredible, and it's literally fresh off the oven. And #Free2DownloadAndRead https://t.co/8hFjt69O53

I think this is important to do. There are books we don't like and that's ok and we shouldn't feel guilty about it. I did NOT like "Salsa Dancing into the Social Sciences" by Kristin Luker. A metric tonne of people I know LOVE that book. And THAT IS FINE. https://t.co/br5wWTG99E

Bryant, A. (2019). The Varieties of Grounded Theory. Los Angeles, London, New Delhi, Singapore, Washington DC, Melbourne: SAGE. Por cierto, qué chistoso que en muchos círculos no se le ponga tanta atención al trabajo de Antony Bryant, pero colaboró muy cerca de Kathy Charmaz.

4) "Rapid Ethnographic Assessments" is an incredible book by Thurka Sangaramoorthy and Karen Kroeger. https://t.co/gX4A3h3NXP I know that there are some people who are averse to REAs (I am not, and I've conducted several) and I think people should learn how to do them properly.

9) I almost forgot to include Cecilia Vindrola-Padros' "Rapid Ethnographies", which is a good and handy guide. https://t.co/b1FWoSvxIA 10) Amanda Coffey's Doing Ethnography is also a solid read, part of SAGE's Series "The Qualitative Toolkit" https://t.co/Qlyrer1pUI

Privatization (particularly as poorly done as it has been in Great Britain) strips society from the opportunities afforded by democratic governance. Read @chiaracordelli ‘s excellent book: “The Privatized State” published by @PrincetonUPress https://t.co/i9pKWqcFgB
