TAKING NOTES: LESSONS ON ETHNOGRAPHY AND LIFE FROM CAROLYN ELLIS

Abstract

In the spirit of celebrating the wonder that is Carolyn Ellis, I considered developing a David Letterman-style “Top Ten List” of the most powerful lessons I have learned as a student, colleague, co-author, and friend of Carolyn. However, when I got quiet inside and poised my fingers over the keyboard to begin constructing my list, I imagined Carolyn pulling up a chair beside me, wearing something fabulous and purple, of course. When I look over at her, she smiles knowingly.
