On Critical Ethnographic Work
Abstract
This article provides an introduction to critical ethnographic work. Critical ethnography is understood as a form of knowledge production which supports transformative as well as interpretive concerns. Three fundamental conditions for ethnographic work are discussed: (1) a particular “problematic” that defines data and analytic procedures in a way consistent with one's pedagogicall political project: (2) the engagement of such work within a public sphere that allows it to become a starting point for social critique and transformation; and (3) the inclusion of a reflexive inquiry which would identify the limits of its own knowledge claims.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
