Participant observer roles Sample Clauses

Participant observer roles. ‌ When I set out the fieldwork, I explicitly explained to everyone in the school (and in fact, thought) that I was just a researcher focussing on a group of young people of Turkish/Kurdish descent. However, I soon realised that ethnographic participant observation brings a variety of unexpected roles along with the process. Besides my main role as a researcher, I adopted, as well as was ascribed, several other roles at the fieldsite. The ethnographer takes the participant observer role as either an in-group or out- group member during an ethnographic inquiry.

In addition, some students were also treating her as a teacher, which she deduced from the linguistic code they chose to speak to her. During my ethnographic inquiry, I also experienced that there were multiple layers to my role as an ethnographer, ranging from being regarded as an unwanted adult, a young female researcher, a stranger in the classroom to a teaching assistant.
