• Sommario/riassunto: This book provides a practical guide for social work researchers, doctoral students, and professionals who are interested in conducting culturally competent research with diverse populations and groups. 'Culturally Competent Research' adopts ethnography as a meta-framework for conducting culturally competent research. Since its inception as an academic discipline, anthropology has developed theories, concepts, methods, and a significant body of substantive studies for the purposes of guiding cultural research, describing cultural groups and processes, and providing data needed for cross-cultural research and theory-building.
