The following is a slightly revised version of an invited address presented at the “Ethnography in Education Research” Forum, Graduate School of Education, University of Pennsylvania, March 1983. In the article, the author reflects on the reasons that ethnographic studies are, and probably will continue to be, suspect in the field of education. Appreciation is expressed to Francis A.J. Ianni for help in preparing this paper.
