Have a little read: ... Discuss the statement 'Being an Ethnographer is to be in two places at the same Time'. Ethnography is a form of social research that has become more popular over the decades, along with other forms of qualitative research (M. Hammersley and P. Atkinson, 1995). The dictionary definition states that it is "the direct observation of an organisation or small society, often involving participant observation" (D. Jary and J. Jary, 1991:p 204). It also says that the researcher tends to put themselves into the society or social setting in which they are researching, but at the same time keep non bias records of occurring activities (D. Jary and J. Jary, 1991). This essay will explain the statement made by Pearson, quoted in 'Interpreting the Field' by Dick Hobbs and Tim May in 1993, that "being an ethnographer is to be in two places at the same time". Particularly in relation to the concept
