    Learning and Using Languages in Ethnographic Research, Paperback by Gibb, Robert (EDT); Tremlett, Annabel (EDT); Iglesias, Julien Danero (EDT), ISBN 1788925904, ISBN-13 9781788925907, Brand New, Free shipping in the US
    This volume brings together 17 chapters based on a workshop, "Language Learning and Ethnographic Fieldwork," held in Glasgow, Scotland, in April 2016. In the chapters, anthropology, sociology, and language specialists from Europe, Canada, and Chile examine multilingual aspects of ethnographic work. They consider processes and practices of language learning and use in ethnographic research; issues that arise in conducting research in a language that is not the researcher’s first language, and implications at different stages of the research process; and how researchers’ experiences of learning and using other languages in fieldwork contexts relate to wider structures of power, hierarchy, and inequality. They discuss cases that illustrate how ethnographers, learn, "unlearn," or relearn languages; the use of languages in ethnographic research; and how institutional barriers, perspectives, and realities can hinder or promote the development of multilingual research.
