Book Review: Doing Fieldwork at Home: The Ethnography of Education in Familiar Contexts. Sarroub, Loukia K. and Nicholas, Claire, London: Rowman & Littlefield, 2021, 189 pp.

Doing Fieldwork at Home features 16 ethnographers' honest and detailed narratives, in 11 chapters, about conducting education-based ethnographies within local contexts, or what are called “home” spaces. The book features novice and well-practiced ethnographers from various disciplines who relay their experiences conducting ethnographic research around the world. Authors share delights and dilemmas they faced when conducting ethnographic research at home and analyze them in pursuit of a better, more nuanced understanding of ethnography in familiar contexts. The chapters address key themes such as researcher identity and positionality; “insider,” researcher-teacher, and researcher-participant status; challenges with access and experiences of exiting the field, alongside a consideration of how these factors shape the validity of findings and research ethics.
