The primary way that anthropologists contribute to the design process is by practicing “design ethnography” during research stages. Design ethnography is a catch-all term used to describe an applied methodology derived from numerous approaches to qualitative analyses. Therefore it is only fitting that design ethnographers are currently debating theories and their methodologies, just as early practitioners of qualitative approaches did (and still do). This annotated bibliography was compiled in an effort to understand the roots of design ethnography and ponder its future. It is comprised of works that directly make mention of the method, as well as other works that may relate to tangential topics.
