Conceptualizing ethnography as a critical process of inquiry that is at once empirical & theoretical, the authors organize their thoughts around five key methodologies: sensing, walking, writing, performing, & recording. They also integrate more traditional methods like participant observation, interviewing, & documentary research. Each chapter includes practical exercises, a list of further resources, & links to online materials that can help encourage a more imaginative & creative methodology.

She continued her work with The Pleasure of the Crown, which offers an in-depth analysis of Aboriginal title litigation in British Columbia & examines the cultural values & biases of the courts from an anthropologist’s point of view. Culhane’s research has also appeared in BC Studies, Native Studies Review & The Journal of Human Justice.
