Ethnographic research is a qualitative research method aimed at studying people and cultures in their natural settings. Researchers immerse themselves in the culture or community being studied, often living with the participants for an extended period of time to gain a deep understanding of their lives, beliefs, behaviors, and social interactions. Ethnographic research often involves participant observation, interviews, and other methods to gather detailed and rich data about the culture being studied. The goal of ethnographic research is to provide an in-depth and holistic understanding of a particular group or community, rather than generalizable findings.
