Briefly define “role orchestration” and “role orientation” and give some examples from class readings and lectures of each of these “themes” or aspects of qualitative research. How do kinship and other social identity relationships ethnographers form over the course of conducting research influence data collection and narrative construction? (give examples). What does it mean to say that ethnography is an “intersubjective process”? How do the dimensions of research projects called role orchestration and role orientation suggest that qualitative research is an “intersubjective” rather than “objective” process?
