Crucial insights into effective ethnographic research

A tribute to Jane C. Goodale, Pulling the Right Threads discusses the vibrant ethnographer and teacher's principles for mentoring, collaborating, and performing fieldwork. Known for her ethnographic research in the Pacific, development of the Association of Social Anthropology in Oceania, and influence in the anthropology department at Bryn Mawr College, Goodale and other contributors renew the debate in anthropology over the authenticity of field data and representations of other cultures. Together, they take aim at those who claim ethnography is outmoded or false.

Laura Zimmer-Tamakoshi is a research associate in anthropology and cofounder of the Owl Network at Bryn Mawr College. Jeanette Dickerson-Putman is an associate professor in the department of anthropology at Indiana University-Purdue University, Indianapolis.
