Abstract

This paper juxtaposes the ethnographic work of Alice Goffman, as presented in her book, On the Run: Fugitive Life in an American City, with my own work involved in developing the article, “Whales Tales, Dog Piles, and Beer Goggles: An Ethnographic Case Study of Fraternity Life.” In particular, I examine anonymization issues arising from both works. The intent is to advance a deeper discussion of ethnographic anonymization toward responding to critics and strengthening the ethnographic endeavor in the field of educational research.
