I'd treat it as Ethnography being a verb/action, a specific study activity, and Ethnology being a field of study (one that we often use interchangably with Anthropology).

Yeah, sometimes I feel that trying to pin down Ethnography is like trying to grab water. The idea of it changes and alters with the particular situation.

Are you here at the University of Chicago?

Oh… I’d treat it as Ethnography being a verb/action, a specific study activity, and Ethnology being a field of study (one that we often use interchangably with Anthropology). So Ethnologists can conduct Ethnographies… does that make sense?

Ethnography! That’s what I’m struggling with. I’ve almost driven mad by ethnography, ethnology, qualitative research…And my instructoer also got mad when he’s asked by me, what’s the difference between ethonography and ethnology…

Whatever, it’s a bit hard for a new comer to understand these within one month…
